Roskomnadzor proudly reports how feared it is — all media outlets that published information about our investigation into Prikhodko and Deripaska have “removed the unlawful information.”
And that raises a question for me: who exactly declared our investigation to be unlawful information?
Up to this point, here is what has happened:
The oligarch Deripaska went to the Ust-Labinsk court and complained about interference in his private life.
The court accepted his case, scheduled a hearing for March 1, and ordered interim measures: blocking the information Deripaska wants to hide.
Even setting aside the utter unlawfulness of the “court’s” decision, no one has actually declared the information “unlawful.” The court does not know what kind of information it is, but before hearing the case it would prefer that no one see it.
In other words, it was Roskomnadzor itself that declared it “unlawful,” rushing ahead of the train in its eagerness to please Prikhodko and the authorities as a whole.
The very same Roskomnadzor whose officials are outright crooks and thieves — they, as we know, created taxpayer-funded positions, hired ghost employees, and pocketed their salaries themselves.
Without any court ruling. Without any legal assessment. Simply this: if an oligarch and an official do not like it, then it must be unlawful.
