Roskomnadzor will spend 58 million rubles on the Oculus system to search for “forbidden” information on the Internet

The main radio frequency center subordinate to Roskomnadzor allocated 57.7 million rubles to create the Oculus system, which will analyze photos, videos and texts on websites, social networks and instant messengers for “forbidden information,” writes Kommersant.

Oculus is promised to be completed by December, but the publication's experts believe that it is impossible to create a system based on neural networks in such a short time and such money.

The system will be developed by Eksikyushn RDC LLC. This company has never been the executor of government contracts, the newspaper notes.

According to the technical documentation, Oculus will analyze content in real time, not only in text form, but also in "scenes, combinations of objects, compositions of images, faces, statics and movement dynamics." The capacity of the system should be 200 thousand images per day, that is, two frames or two pictures per second.

The forbidden information that the system will look for includes, in particular, calls for illegal mass events, disrespect for the authorities, information about suicide methods and drug production, propaganda of homosexuality, etc.
