Messenger Telegram should review its approach to content moderation that often avoid blocking. About thisTenAnton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Information Policy Committee, told the blockade of Mesonger in Dagestan and Chechnya.
Earlier it was reported that Telegram was blocked and did not work at the request of law enforcement agencies in Dagestan and Chechnya.
"It's time for the platform to review the rules of moderation of its content. For some reason, it deletes some prohibited materials, but at the same time persistently ignores others. And, unfortunately, extremist materials are often avoiding blocking, "Nosskin said.
He noted that the blocking was a necessary measure, as the messenger was actively used in these areas to coordinate unrest. "The decision can be revised, everything will depend on Telegram," he said.
