PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
VKontakte (6 September 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps (a) Government Departments and (b) agencies of his Department have taken to restrict internet access to the Vkontakte website.

Asked by:
Sir Desmond Swayne (Conservative)

Government has taken no action to restrict access to this website. We remain concerned about the spread of disinformation and malicious activity on social media sites, especially from hostile states. We are working across Whitehall and with agencies to tackle this, including considering legislative and non legislative measures.
