Zarepour: The figures mentioned about the impact of blocking a foreign platform on the digital economy are not expert evaluations.
The Minister of Communications and Information Technology stated that, considering the restricted access to certain foreign platforms imposed by security authorities, all our efforts during this time have been to provide the necessary infrastructure for public communication and facilitate their businesses in the virtual space.
The policy of the Ministry of Communications is for domestic platforms to reach a level of quality and capability that even if foreign platforms are reopened, they can compete with them and attract users’ attention.
For us, even a single business affected by the recent security decisions is important, but the figures mentioned about the impact of blocking a foreign platform on the digital economy are not expert evaluations, and it is necessary for the relevant institutions to provide an accurate assessment of this issue.
A diverse support package for the development of online businesses has been approved by the government, and its details will be announced soon.
