Roskomnadzor plans: blocking iOS / Android apps, censoring search engines
Yesterday, representatives of Roskomnadzor held a meeting with copyright holders and online sites. Officials have reported two new Internet regulatory measures.
First, the head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, suggested creating a working group on blocking applications in the AppStore and Google Play stores with pirated and other prohibited content.
Another working group will develop methods for regulating the issuance of search engines . The right holders want search engines to remove or reduce the issue of sites with pirated content, which are now on the first lines in the issue. Producer Alexander Akopov said that it’s time for Yandex to start a dialogue with copyright holders, “and if they don’t want to, they’ll have to make legislative initiatives.”
The meeting participants complained about the lack of a legal definition of a “mirror” of the site, which also needs to be blocked along with the main site. “What is a“ mirror ”? Is this a reproduction of a part of the site? If so, which one? ”- asked the judge of the Moscow City Court Alexander Lopatin.

The results of the intellectual assault on the members of the second working group will be announced in February 2016.
Another draft law regulating the work of OTT operators has already been reported . As is known, apart from Skype, none of them have yet to send encryption keys to the FSB. “On the networks of telecoms operators there are special systems of operational search activities (SORM). They allow you to read the correspondence and calculate the offenders. And messengers live by their own rules and do not obey anyone ... If this is a peering messenger, that is, it works without servers and information is sent from user to user, then operators will need to install expensive DPI equipment. It costs millions of dollars, ” explains former general director of QIP and 4talk creator Sergey Kravtsov.
In addition, services like WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram cause financial damage to mobile operators (Megafon complained about this in the summer of 2015).
Therefore, the new bill is beneficial to all parties, Vedomosti writes : it solves the problems of the FSB and cellular operators. The users themselves should probably also be satisfied, because they will be reliably protected from terrorists.
In addition, Roskomnadzor promised to fight against the “promotion of ways to circumvent locking” of resources entered in the register of prohibited information. “This is an antisocial action, and it is necessary to develop a mechanism to counter such resources,” said Boris Yedidin, head of the legal department of Roskomnadzor.
