Most often, applications are submitted for registration of pages on VKontakte (39%), Telegram channels (21%) and YouTube (17%). Journalists, departments, State Court deputies, media and cultural figures are registered as bloggers. The application form for registering pages and channels went live at Gosuslugi on November 1 – legislation requires this from resources that have more than 10 thousand subscribers. After the application is approved, the page or channel is included in the register maintained by Roskomnadzor.
The supervisory authority published the procedure for creating a list of personal pages of social network users with an audience of more than 10 thousand subscribers in September. The list indicates the name and address of the page, last name, first name and patronymic of its owner; it is also proposed to include information about its subscriber numbers, email addresses and network addresses of equipment. The Blogger Registration Law came into force on November 1, 2024; From January 1, 2025, resources that are not included in the register are deprived of the right to place advertisements, and publications of such pages and channels are prohibited from reposting.
