In the state Duma again thinking about the App Store and Google Play

In the state Duma returned to the frozen in 2018, the bill to block pirated content in mobile applications. If the law is adopted, Roskomnadzor will be able to demand the blocking of illegal videos, music and books not only from owners but also from their aggregator — App Store and Google Play.

Copyright owners complain that widespread video piracy, for example, in the Telegram, but to lock it there would be technically difficult, experts say.

If the application owner does not respond to the appeal Roskomnadzor in the course of the day, the office may be required to block the content of the operator or "the person who shall place the application." It is obvious that we are talking about aggregator apps such as App Store and Google Play.

MPs propose to appoint the amendments come into force on 1 October.
