Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: you need to establish full control over the Internet

Oleg Syromolotov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia for the fight against terrorism, is convinced that for effective work it is necessary to establish full control over the Internet.



March 28, 2016 Oleg Syromolotov announced the completion of the compilation of a list of terrorist organizations that operate in Syria. The work is complicated by the fact that terrorist organizations disguise themselves as opposition troops.

In order to effectively combat terrorism, Syromoloto is sure, it is necessary to control the Internet at the state level, and each country should have sovereignty in its sector. Now terrorists are attracting professionals who develop their programs, methods of protection and secret ciphers.

Internet governance should be international. Every country in its sector must have sovereignty. Americans resist this under the pretext that they created the Internet and would like to control everything

Earlier, on March 2, 2016, Nikolai Nikiforov , the head of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, said that the Russian government does not plan to introduce state control over Internet traffic.
