“As for Telegram, the threats it poses to society are real. We are not talking about individual users or individual media that are represented on this platform, the question is about the platform itself. It contains a number of threats to the information, and not only information security of our country. Yes, this question must be answered, and I think that this will definitely happen,” he said.
According to Yusov, everyone would like to have answers to all questions, as well as a magic button that turns off everything that poses a threat, however, according to a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, there are no such simple answers.
Therefore, as he noted, Ukraine is now building communication with the administrations of all platforms, including Telegram, in order to work according to transparent rules: both in accordance with Ukrainian legislation and in accordance with international standards.
“With some people it’s better to solve this, with others it’s more difficult. With Telegram it’s the most difficult. This is constant work, multi-level: both on the territory of the platform itself by creating content that would destroy myths, explain and cover the target audience, and work from the point of view of regulating the activities of these sites,” Yusov summed up.
What preceded this
Let us remind you that discussions about limiting the activities of Telegram channels have been going on for a long time. One of the first to speak about this was former Minister of Culture and Information Policy Alexander Tkachenko.
Last year, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, spoke about the danger from anonymous Telegram channels. According to him, recently there has been an increase in the popularity of anonymous public pages in Ukraine.
The National Security and Defense Council turned to Telegram channels and stated that they have several requirements.
