MOSCOW, July 26 Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Anton Gorelkin in his Telegram channel believes it is right to establish a mechanism for legalizing content on Russian video hosting sites for foreign bloggers.
«…It would be right to lay down some mechanism for further legalization of content on the Russian platform for foreign bloggers. So that a hypothetical Mr. Beast could, if desired, gain control over his videos and continue to run his channel officially,» the deputy wrote in his Telegram channel.
Gorelkin believes that one of the possible effects of YouTube's degradation could be the appearance of foreign bloggers' and celebrities' channels on Russian video hosting sites.
«There is no complaint from the copyright holder — that means there is no problem,» he added, comparing the «re-uploading» of someone else's content to pirated films.
The deputy believes that domestic video hosting sites should provide content authors with convenient tools for moving.
Earlier, the head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Alexander Khinshtein, said that by the end of the week, the speed of loading YouTube on computers could drop to 40%, and by the end of next week, to 70%.
