Today Tagansky court in Moscow authorized Roskomnadzor to block Telegram. JustMedia. ru interviewed experts and learned what this decision will lead to.
Political strategist Platon Mamatov believes that the situation with this messenger is part of the general trend of Russia's movement towards the ban and regulation of the Internet:.
"Recently in the State Duma passed a bill on the dissemination of false information in social networks. And all such decisions are always submitted under the sauce of protection from extremists, pornographers. But we see that they perfectly feel themselves in the network and they did not become worse ".
According to Mamatov, people have less space for free communication. He regards the blocking of messengers as a mistake on the part of the authorities.
"We lost the platform, which provided an opportunity to discuss public and political issues. There is no valve for steam release, which means that people will speak out on the streets. At best, it will be unauthorized rallies, and maybe something more interesting, "- expressed his opinion in a conversation with a JustMedia correspondent. ru political technologist.
He is sure that this "will not end" and Russia will continue to develop a trend to block the messengers and social networks.
IT-producer Yevgeny Sharovarin looks optimistic and believes that Telegram will find a compromise. If the messenger is blocked, then other similar channels will quickly take its place, he said..
"A holy place is never empty, legislation is always behind technology and if access to Telegram is restricted, then its place will be occupied by others. The struggle with what is in the open space is meaningless.
Because it will all go into the shadows, and fight with the fact that in the shadow is much more difficult. But in general, I think that Telegram will find a compromise, "Sharovarin specified..
Let's remind, Roskomnadzor demanded the blocking of Telegram because of the refusal to provide the FSB with encryption keys. Today, the judge of the Moscow Tagansky court, Yulia Smolina, satisfied the suit of Roskomnadzor about his blockade in Russia. The verdict was made in the court's decision - to execute immediately.
