The Ministry of Communications proposed to create alternative social networks and instant messengers

Yesterday it became known about the proposal of
Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Alexei Volin, which he did at the IV Chinese and Russian media forum. The official said that since the Russian and Chinese media are facing unfair competition and restrictions on the dissemination of information, Moscow and Beijing should be ready to create alternative networks and instant messengers. Reports about it RBC.

“Russian and Chinese mass media today, having become influential players on the global media market, inevitably began to face unfair competition, which is expressed, in particular, that the truthfulness of the policy they are pursuing is questioned or there are direct restrictions on the dissemination of information ", - said Volin.

He also added that if other social networks and instant messengers “follow the path of throwing out the Russian and Chinese media” from their own environment, then the Russian and Chinese media will have no choice but to create new channels for disseminating information. In other words, we are talking about the development of alternative social networks and instant messengers.

Volin also said that Russia and China need to look for common approaches and develop reciprocal steps in order to gain the possibility of conveying their point of view to other people.

However, on November 1, an official said that in the future it was necessary to abandon attempts to block information in the network. In his opinion, this method of combating the dissemination of information has already shown its own inefficiency. The problem is that people simply bypass protective measures, in some cases without even realizing what technologies they use. In the same China, where Telegram and WhatsApp are blocked, both messengers work fine.

“We believe that blocking more and more show its inefficiency, and we believe that it is a passing nature. Sooner or later, they will have to be abandoned, because more and more people bypass them, without even noticing that they are dealing with technologies that allow them to bypass the blocked content, ”RIA Novosti quotes Volin.

Volin expressed his opinion about the uselessness of blocking various resources and instant messengers back in August: “If the one you are blocking has enough intellectual, material and IT resources, then the big player is able to avoid blocking. This is the reality with which to live. ”
