Poturaev in an interview told the publication “RBK-Ukraine” that our country does not have and will not have the resources and opportunities to regulate the work of social networks and messengers, writes “NBN”.
According to the people's deputy, Telegram poses a threat to Ukraine due to the application's ties to a terrorist state, so the government must pay attention to this.
“Servant of the People” claims that in a corresponding situation, if the messenger does not establish a dialogue with the country's leadership, it must be closed like the social networks “VKontakte” and “Odnoklassniki”. The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada committee clarified that there are technical possibilities to stop Telegram.
Poturaev added that the use of the application by government bodies under the influence of the special services of the aggressor country is a mistake that will cost everyone dearly.
Earlier, the SBU named the condition for the mass blocking of social networks and Telegram channels.
