In an interview with Oleg Matveychev, Deputy Chairman of the RF State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, he said: “Lentoy.ru”That the American IT giant Google and its YouTube video service will be blocked in Russia after a domestic analogue is created.
“According to all rules and concepts, we can block Google. Although there is no such decision, the issue here is rather a matter of alternatives so that we can achieve this,” said the deputy.
He pointed out that video services are now developing very strongly on Russian sites. The question, according to the MP, is whether they can cope with the huge amount of information.
“When a normal alternative for users arises, we will of course block it (Google. – socialbites.ca), but this is not a matter of the near future,” said the parliamentarian.
According to him, in the long run it will be necessary to say goodbye to this company, because this is the “really enemy army” operating on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Matveychev also said that Google “maliciously” violated Russian law, that is, completely ignored it. He described Google as a weapon in the information war.
“It doesn’t act like a neutral platform at all. <…> I can hardly imagine that Google will improve, but still it could happen, ”Matveychev added.
Experts before that announced The need to create worthy analogues of YouTube in Russia.
Alexey Goreslavsky, former head of the Internet Development Institute (IRI) did not exclude Blocking YouTube by decision of the service and for violation of law.
