MOSCOW, September 26 — RIA Novosti. Roskomnadzor has no plans to block the social network Facebook in Russia, told RIA Novosti adviser of RF President on the Internet Herman Klimenko.
Earlier Tuesday, the head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov said that Facebook will be blocked, despite a large number of users, if you do not fulfill the requirements of the law on personal data retention Russians on the territory of the Russian Federation. According to him, Facebook keeps telling the Agency that it is considering how to enforce the law, although it has not sent any official letter. Roskomnadzor has no plans for 2017 are no control measures in relation to social networks, but what about 2018 just think, said Zharov.
“I understand that from the claim that by 2017 Facebook checking is not scheduled, you can display news about about the closure of the social network in 2018. In fact, these are two completely different things, and the plans of colleagues from Roskomnadzor closing Facebook no. I called and asked,” — said Klimenko.
Roskomnadzor 17 November 2016 on the basis of the decisions of the courts have made LinkedIn’s list of prohibited information, after which the operators began to block this resource on the territory of the Russian Federation. This measure was explained by the failure of the social network of the law on personal data retention Russians, and this was the first case of blocking of a major social network in Russia.
