most popular Russian social network “VKontakte” fully hit the black list of sites because of a technical error, which in November resulted in a 10-minute shutdown YouTube. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Communications believe that the system is working properly.

– Only he who does nothing – said “Izvestiya” Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media Alexei Volin. – The main conclusion that we do: errors always happen, the question of the reaction rate on the error. In this case, what a mistake quickly found and corrected quickly, indicating that the system is working properly.

morning Roscomnadzor added to the blacklist – the registry of sites with illegal content – IP-address is the most popular Russian social network “VKontakte”. At 10.43 it was removed from the register.

According to deputy head Roskomnadzora Maxim Ksenzova, a representative of the agency added to the registry of sites with illegal content addresses of several pages of the social network of “contact.” On them, the results of the examination, there was child pornography. When you add the address of one of the pages of the system failed. As a result, the registry was introduced IP-address – the total for the whole of the social network. Accordingly, the entire network of “contact” was not available.

This is the second

Roskomnadzora technical error in the conduct of the blacklist. The first took place November 21 – 20 days after the start of the list. Then instead of the address of the page with the video in a specific registry got IP-address, one for the whole site (in this case – for the whole portal YouTube). Then the error corrected in 10 minutes.

after the November incident in the department have drawn conclusions and provided for a system of “foolproof”, which repeatedly asks the operator whether or not the black list should be added to such a resource. Now Roskomnadzor under investigation, why the error is still repeated.

on a social network “contact” in Roscomnadzor complained about 9 thousand times, told “Izvestia” Deputy Chief Minister Maxime Ksenzov. More than 800 complaints have been confirmed by the experts – the relevant pages really was illegal information. These pages have been blacklisted. According Ksenzova, only the blacklist now more than 50 thousand resources.

– Even before the roster moderators “contact” do manage to remove illegal content. Own service control them running efficiently, – said Ksenzov.

procedure block sites with illegal content is described in the regulations to the federal law “On protection of children from information …”. The relevant rules to take effect November 1, 2012. After receiving complaints about the content of a web page, an authorized institution (in the case of child pornography is itself Roscomnadzor) conducts the examination. If the complaint is justified, the page address is added to the black list in advance. Thus the page is still available, but the hosting provider of the linked site is notified and, in turn, passes it to the site owner. If after three days of illegal content is still not removed, then the whole site include the black list (by IP-address) and all Russian Internet providers must close access to it.
