He believes that if these platforms are officially registered, they can receive facilities equal to those of official media
According to the Iran digital economy annotation, The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance announced that platforms, human media and channels with more than 5 thousand followers must be officially registered; Because such a thing controls the media space. He also announced the provision of facilities to these platforms in case of official registration.
Mohammad Mahdi Esmaili, the Minister of Guidance, stated: “This is the law approved in 2016 to register channels and human media with more than 5,000 followers. This has several points; First, it controls the media space. Human media and channels above five thousand followers come and get permission; The process is not long at all, but it is immediate and only records are recorded.”
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance also continued: “For example, I have a platform in a messaging network, I write an article against someone, when a person wants to follow up, this mechanism should have a place in the relevant ministry where the follow-ups will respond; We are looking for such a mechanism.”
He announced that there have been laws in the past so that if a person writes something against someone in cyberspace, legal action will be taken: “We are looking for the public services that we provide for regular media reporters to human media and channel owners with 5,000 Follow up. I have told all the people who register, if they are not insured, they should get insured and if they have not received benefits, they should get benefits. We will extend all the privileges that we normally give to our media colleagues in the space of news agencies, news sites and newspapers to human media.
According to the Minister of Guidance, human media also benefit from the facilities: “They are also insured. “If we give housing and other facilities to the media, we will also give to human media and we will give a complete package – without making any distinction – with all privileges to human media.”
In response, he asked whether foreign and domestic messengers are different in this plan. He stated: “There is no difference between foreign and domestic messengers; The person may be on a foreign platform. “In general, every Iranian citizen who has a platform, if he registers, we will give him those privileges.”
While talking about providing facilities to human media and channels in domestic and foreign messengers, the Minister of Guidance said that foreign platforms have been filtered for more than a year and people must use filter breakers to enter these platforms.
