Register with the banned sites information is likely to be closed

The Joint Working Group of MPs, representatives of the Ministry of Communications and online community discussed the regulations that are necessary for the entering into force of the mechanism of blocking access to sites with prohibited materials.

Yes we ban! (Photo Gorkem Keser .)

State Duma has already approved this initiative. Aims are to "fight against illegal content on the Internet" and protection. In a single register should be made web-based resources for prohibited content: promotion of narcotic and psychotropic substances, child pornography, appeals to suicide, etc.

The federal executive body authorized by the Government will be able to include the list of sites. The new law provides blocking Internet resources by hosting providers and operators of domain names and network addresses. In the second case off instead of one page, and the site as a whole, which could lead to the unavailability of entire web platforms, social networks, etc.

Remains an open question whether the "black list" should be public or private: market participants disagree. The registry should be accessible, otherwise it will not struggle with illegal sites, but on the contrary, their advertising - this is the position of the expert community and the Ministry of Communications. And there must be a public monitoring of the decisions to accept this or that information illegal.

On the other hand, the record does not allow monitoring of its formation - in particular users. Do not exclude the possibility of the "black list" will be closed from the web audience, but is open to operators, hosting providers and Internet companies, who in this case have the ability to track changes in the registry to remove lock from the sites or delete the illegal content .

Mechanism of public control should be possible to verify why this or that resource is not available. This should be a system service like domain name registrars, experts say. It is also asked to create a system for automatically request forwarding, that will redirect the user to a page that explains why the address has been blocked.

The network will be a secret censorship

By itself, the Russian policy is a serious distortion of a common sense and essence of the political process. Still less to fear of government interference, when it is held under the auspices of protecting public morals. It is now known that the so-called "black lists of sites" is in a secret. The public can not get to them a free access, which means that there will not be an adequate civilian control over the censor materials.
Implementers of the "On the censorship on the Internet" law , in turn, explain that some public organizations will have the access to the lists .Knowing the Russia specifics, when, under the auspices of NSO hide close to the bureaucratic system fraudsters and extortionists, such explanations can not calm, if we're not interested in creating new jobs for loafers. Risk of doing business in the Russian segment of the web has increased significantly. Alternatively, the I2P network , has not yet developed to create a fully-controlled Internet able to compete. One can only hope that further budget cut of the money thing will not really go down.

The most interesting thing in all of these initiatives is the lack of a public debate. The bill falls on the people’s heads at once, but they can not affect it in any way. As a result, expenditures budget, cost more than accounting services. All this will not bring any apparent profit for the economy. At the same time a goal "moral protection " - is unlikely to be achieved, because if a person is already interested in drugs, suicide and porn, complicating access to the necessary information will hardly abate this interest, on the contrary, will give more incentive for criminal behaviors.

Power in Russia is trying to replace a principle that parents are the main caregiver of any child. The state is unable to restore order in those areas of life in which it has to be restored. Why should we give the right to extend state authority? Let restore order there.

Unfortunately, we do not ask these questions to our bureaucrats. They have forgotten how to communicate with Russian citizens in. They are more interested in cosmic importance projects and in any stupidity.

Censorship on the Internet. Yes, it is South Korea.

Critic of the government, which on his page on Twitter criticized the president of his country found its my account is locked. Activist who on his Twitter page posted unflattering comments about government has been accused of libel. A judge, who wrote that the president ("His Highness") "putting pressure" on the Internet users, who challenged his authority, was fired, and was seen as retaliation.Such suppression of Internet freedom has been remarkable, but perhaps not surprising in China, with its army of vigilant online censors. However, in this case, an energetic social media censorship took place in South Korea, the country's flourishing democracy and one of the most integrated companies in the Internet environment in the world.
