The State Duma proposed to unblock Instagram * for Russian small businesses

State Duma deputies from the New People party appealed to the Prosecutor General's Office with a request to remove the blocking from the Instagram* social network. This was suggested to be done after checking for violations and their elimination. It is proposed to unblock the network "in the interests of Russian small business." Writes about this "Kommersant".

Earlier, State Duma Vice Speaker Vladislav Davankov said that blocking Instagram caused the massive use of "doubtful VPN services" and led to a drop in income for small and medium-sized businesses. According to Davankov, it was the only social network that became a platform for sales.

Note that earlier the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Communications and IT Anton Gorelkin spoke about the possibility of unblocking Instagram *. According to him, if the social network “apologizes and changes its policy”, then the block will be removed.

So far, it has not been reported that the Prosecutor General's Office has responded to the proposal of the parliamentarians. And earlier it was reported that the business began to use SMS-mailings again.
