Warning of the Minister of Communications to the domestic offending messengers

According to the online economy report, quoted by Isna, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology warned them about the misuse of government support by domestic messengers.

Issa Zarepour, on the sidelines of the meeting of the government delegation in the group of journalists, in response to a question about the violation and overselling of Rubica, stated: We in the Ministry of Communications in the 13th government have had and have full support for domestic platforms, and in a way we have dedicated ourselves to them and all our possibilities. We also use it to strengthen these platforms.

He added: But this does not mean that someone wants to abuse these protections and violate people’s rights and undermine people’s trust. According to the approvals of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace and the approvals of the Regulation Commission, the traffic consumed by domestic platforms should be one-half of the international traffic, and the traffic of all domestic social messengers should be one-third.
Zarepour added: This decree is current and valid, and if anyone does not know, they should know now. We have received reports of violations, which we investigated and confirmed. Considering that the National Center for Virtual Space should give an opinion on how to compensate for this consensus, we gave our proposed package to this center so that a decision can be made about this issue there.

Emphasizing that any domestic platform that violates people’s rights will be dealt with, he clarified: The rights and trust of the people are our red line, now it is anyone and anywhere. Any platform that does not implement the country’s approvals and ignores the people’s rights is neither foreign nor domestic for us, and regarding the rights of the people, we will have the same view on the domestic as we have on the foreign.
