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 β€” 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.

And even though Telegram is known that he is not cooperating with the governments, in this case an exception was made for the dissemination of information about the coronavirus.

"the Current pandemic is a threat to our kind. When it ends, the world will not return to a normal life. We will witness a civilizational shift that will spread through the generations. We all need to ensure that the new world was to be born was better than the one we leave behind.

This is a chance for people to use their time in isolation to create the best version of yourself, and the chance for technology to prove its value to humanity. That's why I believe that we in the Telegram must do everything possible not only to contain the pandemic and to combat the spread of inaccurate information, but also to find new ways of moving forward."
