First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, Anton Tkachev, called Vice-President Vladislav Davankov’s idea to unblock the social network X (Twitter) after the publication of Vladimir Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson “as correct as possible” .” As Tkachev told socialbites.ca, requests to unblock the platform have been sent to Roskomnadzor more than once – the American company is ready to comply with the terms of the “landing” law. The MP suggested opening all other social networks blocked in Russia at the same time so that “the truth can be born” in the dialogues.
“Today, we need to pay attention to international platforms. As practice and experience show after an interview with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin with an American journalist, Western and European countries are limited from the real news channel and the facts about what is happening. Such positive, positive steps by Roskomnadzor can give the opportunity to tell what is happening not only to the president, but also to all other users using this platform today, thanks to VPN services. It is important to say that today we must give the opportunity to unblock all international digital platforms where one can express one’s opinion. Moreover, consider this not as a conditional or even “friendly” platform, but as a platform that balances the views of all people, so that truth emerges from dialogue,” he said.
On February 9, Elon Musk’s X (Twitter) platform featured an interview with American TV host Tucker Carlson, with President Vladimir Putin as his guest. Following this, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Vladislav Davankov proposed returning access to the blocked social network to Russians. According to the lawmaker, the publication of Putin’s exclusive interview with Carlson proves the “neutrality” of the social network.
