Putin target Internet!

24 March 2019, 19:01 BDT

A time when television and radio were the only media to get the news. But Tim Burners Lee has changed slowly since the discovery of the World Wide Web. Now there are many alternative sources of news in the world of the Internet. And the world's dictators of the world have been the biggest victim of this.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is the only leader in his country. He is increasing day by day. This hand gave the Internet world. Putin has finished all the arrangements for establishing public control in the world. Now it's time to roll back the net. When this work is done, Putin's pocket will switch to the 'switch' of the Russian virtual world.

There was strong state control over the media in the former Soviet Union. When on August 19, 1991, a 'coupe' took place against Mikhail Gorbachev, entertainment programs were being broadcasted on all TV channels in the Soviet Union. There was no way the understanding of the Russian people sitting in front of the stupid box was going to change in the country! In the Kremlin, there was a bullet-bomb, and the Russian people were walking in the dummy box of the drawing room.

There is no longer a fool to fool the common people by fooling the box. The Internet has brought the whole world into a small circle. It is also difficult to take control of the Internet. Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to do that hard work. One of the finest KGB agents in the past Soviet era has learned. He understands that the lesser the message is, the more good the people are. The more they know, the more understanding! So limiting the scope of public knowledge is one of the best ways of preserving power.

Russian agency Levada Center recently made a survey. It has been found that about 30 percent of Russia's public confidence on television has decreased. After 2009, Russia's confidence in TV channels has dropped below 50 percent. On the contrary, Russia's confidence over the internet-based source has increased. Though Russians are still used to get news from television, older adults aged 18 to 24 have internet dependency.

The British journalist The Economist says that YouTube has divided the exclusive monopoly of national television into YouTube. 82 percent of Russians aged 18-24 years are keeping eye on YouTube to get news. Russians have more tendency to find news on YouTube. One of Putin's political opponents in Russia, Alexei Navalny He knows very well, he has no hope of coming to the state-sponsored TV channel. Navalny, therefore, opened two YouTube channels and promoted her political activities. Last year, the number of viewers of these two YouTube channels increased almost twice. He gets at least 2.5 million subscribers per month.

That is, it is clear that Russia's dependence on news-based sources for news is increasingly increasing. And Putin's fold is growing in the forehead. Kremlin is now looking for ways to control the anti-government propaganda. Gregory Asmolov, a King College teacher and Russian Internet expert in London, said, "How the Internet can be transformed into a TV channel - the government is trying it now." He also said that strict rules are not enough for this. At the same time, we have to control the flow of Internet infrastructure and content.

Putin's government started to walk on that path. Efforts are being made to defame anti-government talk 'Fake News' Recently Russia has passed a new law to prevent fakes. President Vladimir Putin also signed the law. Under the new law, the information that appears to be lying to the government can be banned. Apart from this, the government will also be banned from the information that is considered to be a cause of violation of public order. As a punishment, it can be fined 4 million rubles (about $ 6,500). The government can block any website by giving false information about spreading information.
Business Insider, however, says that the law has been passed to ensure the punishment of the blame, the miserable Russian! Fakes News is a major part of the world, it comes from Russia. Facebook, Twitter, and various social media have made this accusation. Other government and rights organizations also raised similar allegations against Russia.

But Putin's government claims that there are many types of fakes news being made against Russia all over the world. The US Trump Administration intentionally creates such propaganda. To prevent these cyber attacks, there is a strong law.

Bloomberg says Putin can stop the full flow of Russia by simply pressing a switch using the new law. This design has been made in the 'Digital Sovereignty' law. Cyber ​​security expert Andrei Soldatov said, "This is not the law to prevent any foreign threat or Facebook-Google. The Russian government could now do that work. During the civilian demonstration, the entire traffic system of the Internet can be controlled in a particular area under this Act. As a result, anti-government propaganda can be easily identified and stopped.

China's way to Russia? 
The best example of putting a strict control over the Internet is made by China. At the beginning of the 21st Century, China has separated itself from the Internet system of the world. That system is called the 'Great Firewall'. Facebook has not yet installed the base in China China is a very different part of the global Internet world.

Analysts say that Russia wants to walk on China's path But it is very difficult to implement it. China has imposed strict rules from the beginning. And Russia has long been involved in the global Internet world. Russia's major IT companies are included in the global infrastructure of the Internet. Russia has set up a tech giant like Google More than that, Russians have been accustomed to using popular websites like YouTube. It is difficult to eradicate that habit. This may cause new publicity.

But yes, rather than closing, if you want to stop it - that message is more useful. In this way, big companies like Facebook, Google, are forced to roll them back. Putin wants to do the same by passing repressive laws to prevent fakes. University of Georgia professor Rangbin Han said, "China is going on the way China is showing There is no need to stop the entire internet system to eradicate political dissent. More than that, the content of online content is still filtered. That's a nice way. '
Internet Putin? 
The Kremlin has kept several big IT companies running Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn over the last few years. Putin's government wants to censor the various issues online. Multinational companies are pressurized to set up a server in Russia.

Moscow-based group Roskosbanna is working on online sanctions issues. According to the estimation of this group, currently 80 thousand websites have been blacklisted. Agora, a human rights watchdog, has said that there have been approximately 1,300 cases for cyber attacks since 2015, in Russia, the verdict has been 143. Putinists are being put into the ownership of Russian IT companies. Force is being used for this. Slowly their control is being taken by the government. 

Meanwhile, the Reuters news agency said that the confidence of the Russian people on the 66-year-old president has decreased at an alarming rate of 33.4 percent. This is the lowest since 2006. But in July 2015 it reached 71 percent.

That is, signs are not very good. Putin can be relieved by putting a pause in the Internet world of the country, so to see now.
