The technology entrepreneur, founder of the social network «VKontakte» and Telegram messenger Pavel Durov did not have time to give an interview to journalist Tucker Carlson about his understanding of freedom of speech and the philosophy that formed the basis of his IT projects, as it became known, that he had to compromise his principles in the face of Apple’s censorship requirements. Durov announced that Telegram should restrict access to a number of channels related to the Ukrainian political agenda to maintain your presence in the AppStore24. This vivid example of the struggle between the desire of Internet platforms for self-regulation and the desire of a number of players, both public and non-governmental, to control the dissemination of content brings us back to the question of 
which, in modern times, could be considered censorship. In the realities of global information wars, the delineation of the boundaries between justified restriction on the dissemination of information and censorship in its updated understanding predetermines the world in the digital age and confirms the importance of research into these phenomena through interdisciplinary tools analysis (legal, political, sociological, economic).
