Social Networks blocked at the request of the authorities of the page action in support of Alexei Navalny. This measure is purely formal and can be easily circumvented, that immediately happened. An effective response to the threat of “color revolutions” requires more than a technocratic and humanitarian approach.
Social networks Facebook and “VKontakte” on demand Roskomnadzora blocked page groups created by the initiators of the street action in support of Navalny, scheduled in Moscow on January 15th. It was on this day scheduled sentencing brothers Navalny on so-called “case of Yves Rocher».
Recall, December 19 Zamoskvoretskiy Moscow Court held oral argument on the case. Bulk brothers are accused of embezzling 26 million rubles from the company “Yves Rocher Vostok” and 4 million rubles from “Multidisciplinary processing company.” During the debate, the prosecutor asked the court to sentence Alexei Navalny to 10 years in a penal colony, and his brother Oleg – to 8 years in a penal colony. Bulk brothers did not plead guilty and say the political nature of the persecution.
It has long been clear to all that social networks have become a powerful tool for accumulating social energy. Particularly important role they played during the so-called “Arab Spring”, as well as in the organization “Euromaidan” in Kiev, create the conditions for a coup in Ukraine. Actively used social networks and in the “belolentochnoy” campaign in Russia in 2011-12. Gone are the days of sticking announcements of meetings, telephone calls supporters: publish information in social networks, and a chain reaction of “likes” and “census” will provide the right audience.
The public authorities of Russia, in its making and the strange example of the effectiveness of social networks for rocking the social situation, tried to counter the spread of “contagion” through the Internet. One of the major steps in this direction was the Federal Law № 398-FZ dated 28 December 2013 “On Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information” (so-called “law Meadow”). It allows Roskomnadzor on prescription Prosecutor General’s Office immediately, without a court order to block resources, distributing calls to riots, unauthorized actions, as well as extremist information.
Recently, social networks, whose Russian services are controlled either from -this foreign or foreign-owned companies have to bring their operations into compliance with Russian laws. Given the pressure from foreign influence structures and special services, they have to maneuver between the “centers of power”, not forgetting, of course, the interests of their own business.
The requirement Roskomnadzora social networks easily performed, and, most likely, not without vengeful satisfaction. Formally, the law might be fulfilled! But – only formally. Pages followers Navalny were blocked – and then there were similar, but under a different name. As explicitly stated Alexey hot, one of the leaders of public support for the brothers Navalny: “So what? Page banned soon appeared a few more of these. We have all been harvested in advance … »
In the current structure of the Russian government controls human communication is not the Ministry of Culture, not the president’s administration and agency primarily concerned about the distribution of telecommunication resources,” communication channels “. Roskomnadzora officials can not be accused of any lack of patriotism, or in a criminal omission. But countermeasures anti-state activities on the Internet, they are taking are merely technical, formal character.
An informal response could be information counterattack through the same social network. That would confirm the obvious fact that the mass audience networks supports the policy of the Kremlin and opposes social and political upheaval and “Russian Maydan”. Yes, these people often criticize the government and the “left” and “right”, but perpendicular to the “liberal democratic” discourse. However, such a counterattack, the authorities apparently are not able to.
Because of this issue – not to them. And no small part to the Russian public, which declares its support for the official exchange rate. Attempts are being made “witnesses Navalny” simulate “a massive campaign” demagoguery in social networks. In response to demand from the relevant authorities to provide the public is strong evidence of involvement of the accused in corruption schemes. This component should be complemented by legal claims of law enforcement agencies.
