In a photo or video, Roskomnadzor can be seen as extremism, LGBT propaganda, rally calls, etc. He told the newspaper vedomosti a representative of the Main Radio Frequency Center (FSUE GRCHTS) of Roskomnadzor, acting as the client of the project.
As the GRFC rep said, the Oculus has already been launched and is fully performing its duties. The system was tested in December last year and noted that in January 2023 the integration of the system with other Roskomnadzor monitoring tools began, but did not give details.
According to him, this system recognizes images, symbols, illegal scenes and actions, and also analyzes text in photos and videos.
“Oculus” extremist themes, calls for mass outlaws, suicide, pro-drug content, LGBT propaganda, etc. automatically detects videos daily.
He also added that by 2025, Oculus plans to add “functions to determine people’s stances and actions,” along with the ability to identify new types of breaches.
In August 2022, Kommersant signed the GRFC’s selected 57.7 million rubles to build the Oculus system. According to the newspaper, the developer of the system was the company “Excursion RDC”.
