The founder and coordinator of the BUZCOIN project, Andrey Semin took part in a round-table meeting dedicated to the consequences of banning Telegram and the potential ban of Facebook on the Russian Internet.

Today the Parliamentary Newspaper pressroom saw a round-table meeting on one of the hottest topics on social media and beyond that is the consequences of banning Telegram and Facebook on the Russian Internet.

The round-table meeting took place with the participation of an LDPR party State Duma deputy Vasily Vlasov as well as representatives of Youth Parliament under the State Duma along with academic community.

The main issues put up for discussion were, obviously, the consequences of banning Telegram for business community and ordinary people, the effectiveness of banning social media in the war on terrorism and using social media bans as a response to Western sanction policies.

The general sentiment among the round-table participants turned out to be on the less pleasant side for the Russian authorities and the federal watchdog agency — Roskomnadzor — in particular, considering it has been attempting to ban the messenger for weeks to no avail.

You can create restrictions on the legal level, but in case with Russia the harshness of these bans is inversely related to their observation.

Even if the ban turns out to be effective, at this point of IT development there is no problem in creating a new service that would be similar to the banned one, within a matter of weeks.

In his turn, the founder and coordinator of the BUZCOIN project, Andrey Semin, not having any claims against the developers of either Telegram or Facebook or their respective products, has expressed his concerns about the lack of Russian software products, messengers and social media.

He believes that the new Russian P2P communication platform called BUZAR whose launch is just around the corner, and if it doesn’t become a 100% substitute for Facebook, it will be able to cover most needs of the target audience as well as fully comply with the Russian legislation in terms of data processing and user data storage.
