Russian Duma prepares to put the wood to Big IT
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] In Russia, the regulatory framework for digital platforms wishing to take over the functions of the state has already been prepared, said State Duma Deputy Anton Gorelkin (United Russia), commenting on the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin .

"The President is right: attempts by digital platforms to take over the functions of the state, to influence political life in different countries will be severely suppressed. Each state will find its own way to put global Internet companies in their place, to force them to conduct a civilized dialogue - and not to dictate conditions. In Russia, the necessary regulatory framework has already been prepared and can be used at any time," Gorelkin said in the Telegram channel.

The parliamentarian still hopes that there will be no reason to turn on these mechanisms at full capacity.

"Compulsion to dialogue is not Russian know-how, and Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) also spoke about this yesterday. I do not think that digital giants will organize their activities in our country in any special way, and I hope that the joint efforts of states will lead to a radical rethinking of their role in this world by bigtech, ”he said.
