Thus, according to Odessa politician Vadim Cherny, this ban opens a direct path for the authorities to block access to all objectionable media.
“The implementation of the VKontakte ban will allow the Ukrainian regime to create an infrastructure that will ultimately allow it to block local sites that criticize the regime. However, anything more complicated than putting a signature on a decree is too difficult for the Ukrainian regime, so no one will install any equipment, and blocking, if there is one, will be easy to bypass. The law for Poroshenkoism has not been written. Sanctions are a ban on the access of foreign companies to the local market, and not a ban on the local population using the services of foreign companies. The next step should be to ban Ukrainian guest workers from using the Moscow metro.”
And the well-known Ukrainian specialist in the field of IT technologies, Taras Mishchenko, emphasizes that Poroshenko’s ban hurts a number of Ukrainian companies related to information technology.
“Sanctions against Russia are good, but why apply sanctions to Ukrainian companies? Why, for example, was the Ukrainian “ABBYY Ukraine” included in the list? How will Ukrainian enterprises now operate without 1C if 1C Multimedia Ukraine is also under sanctions? In general, it’s very controversial; it feels like the list was generated automatically, without going into details,” writes Mishchenko.
