Minzifra considers to limit the voice flow in instant messengers

According to Maksut Shadayev's Digital Development Minister, one and a half years ago, it was difficult to imagine the initiatives of operators to limit the volume of voice in the messengers will be seriously discussed. But the amount of criminals developing at a speed is now a reality. Initially, this initiative came from exploitors who lost a lot of money due to Russian people abroad to call Wi-Fi, not by phone. But in this case, we are talking about the fight against cyber criminals.

Minzifra considers to limit the voice flow in instant messengers

The Maksut Shadaev has specified that the limitations are considered for employees of state agencies, telecommunications operators, banks and digital platforms. General Director of Kaspersky Laboratory, Evgeny Kaspersky, immediately protested:

– If we talk about the State's regulations, the theme of voice calls through the messenger has been affected. I have a global business, I have 30 offices overseas – from Brazil to Singapore, I have thousands of large customers abroad, it is more convenient for them (by The Messenger) and you want to cut it off it . Very annoying, not so.

– And you do not enter this category. You are not a telecommunications operator, not a bank, not a state agency?

– I think.

– No, good, if there is such ambition, then …

– I think that you first bring all civil servants, then spread to a large business.

We will start with ourselves first. First from yourself, from media operators.

– I don't need it.

By the way, before that, the head of Roskomnadzor Andrei Lipov also mentioned that this department could use calling calls through foreign messengers. And he did not talk about limitations for a separate person.

This is very worried about this

Roman Quinikedze Co -Founder and General Director of NappyClub, we live in Russia and we find all kinds of work options. We are taught to survive and continue teaching. Therefore, we will find a way out if there are difficulties, but, of course, if there are some limitations, no one will be happy for him, because it will violate communication.

The “optimal” company to contact China uses Wechat, with partners in other countries of Asia, in Turkey and in Europe – WhatsApp (belonging to Meta, recognized in Russia extreme Doan and banned), in the Kingdom – Botim. And Telegram – for strange cases. That is, there is no host in any way. Linear staff in 70% of the corresponding cases there, but the management of communications and voice chats used in the ratio of 50/50. This is convenient and saving a lot of time and money, high -end partners of Optimal, George very

– Messenger provides data protection, easy to interact, the ability to make group calls, group chats. In addition, they can be used to exchange files quickly.

– If you see from the viewpoint of cost, will you have more money to contact?

– Not only bigger and not only much, these are other orders. I also found the Internet when dialing, ICQ, international calls via IP-Telephony, via regular phones, via Skype, paid calls via Skype. We all passed. We have reduced phone costs hundreds of times. The most important thing is the ease of use, which is the effect of interaction.

And most importantly, according to dialogers, FM FM businesses, the ban will not solve the problem. What is confirmed by Dubai experience. Continuing the general manager of the Space Travel Arthur Muradyan tour:

The CEO of Arthur Muradyan of the tour operator, Ator's vice president on international travel issues, prohibits it much easier. But scammers will always find an option to overcome all ban and go to new forms of communication. Finally, do not turn off the phone to not face them. For example, in the Emirates, calls are banned through messengers. This, by the way, does not prevent businesses from developing, but there is no fraud there. There, the scammers wrote through WhatsApp, they were calling for normal phone. Accordingly, this mechanic does not work. The struggle should not stay with the vehicles, but with the origin. “

To fight the source, the Government approved a bill, which collected about 30 measures to combat supervisors by phone and the Internet, on February 15, it was submitted to the State. Duma to discuss. And according to experts, many things need to be discussed there.
