This was stated by the head of the Internet Association of Ukraine, Alexander Fedienko, as reported by the 112 Ukraine TV channel.
“If we are talking about the current presidential decree, it must be implemented when it comes into effect. If we are talking about further actions, then we need a year or two or more and somewhere, within the state, 1 billion dollars... Most likely, we will not block sites, but the entire autonomous system on which these sites and other platforms are located, not listed in the sanctions. The user will ultimately be deprived not only of access to networks such as VKontakte, but also to other platforms that were in this system,” Fedienko said.
However, according to the head of the Internet Association, the blocking can be bypassed.
“Yes, it is possible, it has already been proven by time that the same “Chinese Golden Shield” is not a problem now,” Fedienko added.
Let us remind you that Poroshenko’s decree on sanctions against Russia will come into force tomorrow. “Ordinary Courier” will tomorrow publish a presidential decree regarding the ban on Russian social networks.
