Especially to the "Kremlin without towers" - Vladislav Inuzmatsev, Doctor of Economics, Co-founder of the European Center for Analysis and Strategies 18 + This material (information) was produced, distributed and (or) sent by the foreign agent Inuzmatsev Vladislav Leonidovich, or relates to the activities of the foreign agent Inuzmatsev Vladislav Leonidovich Yesterday President Vladimir Putin spoke for the second time in recent weeks On the need to limit the activity of social networks in Russia - but, if recently there was talk of a ban on children under 14, a broader approach was proposed at the Russia-Africa forum. To put it briefly, the Kremlin has come out against "foreign" social networks, which are difficult or inconvenient for it to control. Recalling the ongoing unrest in France, V. Putin noted that they are "affected by social networks, which are not sovereign powers for France] barely or not at all affecting their work, but I think," the president continued, "that it will be true if we all influence it and think about security issues." The constant concerns of the current authorities about the safety of Russians are well known - but there has been no such increase over the years, and in almost no area. The persecution of social networks, in my opinion, is nothing more than another "movement", without which the security forces cannot imagine their lives - but they may turn out to be even more dangerous for the Kremlin than many other pastimes in the field of security. Social networks are only partly catalysts for protests - and any impartial analyst knows full well that many revolutions, including those similar to those taking place in France today, began without social networks. Information in an urban environment usually spreads quickly, and in conditions where everyone has even the simplest mobile phone in their pocket, it is impossible to stop the flow of news.
