On the first day of the amendments to the law “On Information”, which allow the government to block sites on the Internet without trial, Roscomnadzor takes empowerment and closed for the Russians access to four sites.

One of the blocked sites – the blog in the resource LiveJournal, however, because of the technical features zakonoprimeneniya many Russians were not able to go to Learn in principle. Administration “LiveJournal” reacted almost immediately and closed access to objectionable blog immediately after its entry in the Unified Register of illegal information. Thus, the site LiveJournal.com «as soon as he was expelled from the registry,” stated the press release Roskomnadzora.

Roskomnadzor must pay tribute – the day before the amendments to the law “On Information” because the agency warned RUnet all the possible consequences of publishing extremist information.

The report clearly stated procedure Roskomnadzora block sites. According to the law, Roscomnadzor is purely technical function – all decisions are taken in the General Prosecutor’s Office. Roscomnadzor on request the Attorney General or his deputies directs operators requirement to restrict access to a resource or placed on it illegal information. The prosecutor has the right to take up arms on sites that distribute calls to riots, extremist activities and participation in illegal mass public events.

Only after the resource is locked by host Roscomnadzor officially notify the owner of the site. Resource can be unlocked only after officials Roskomnadzora convinced that illegal information is removed.

This law was passed very quickly. The document was submitted to the State Duma in early December, the number 13 it was approved by the relevant committee of the lower house of parliament, over the next week in the Duma passed all three readings, and already Dec. 20 amendments to the law “On Information” signed by President Putin.

Which still

sites Roscomnadzor applied sanctions February 1, the Office decided to keep silent. Reported only that the sites were blocked for “extremist information representing a threat to society and the individual».

But the situation with

Learn the most popular blog-hosting in the Russian segment of the boarding, quickly cleared up. It turned out that the General Prosecutor’s Office on the first day the new law did not like the blog called “Diary of a Slav,” which was located at russ-wolf.livejournal.com

The department found that the author of the blog published calls for extremism. According to others, the General Prosecutor’s Office did not like a particular record, which provides links to resources already closed nationalist and explains the need for the physical removal of Russian statesmen.

Attorney General demanded Roskomnadzora not block the entire LJ and only blog by russ-wolf (Russian users only see the plug “on the territory of your country view this page denied authorities.”) The fact that some users can not be reached the whole ” LiveJournal “in the administration of the service explained by” technical reasons. ” Operators, as stated in the law, were ordered to block blog before the relevant information came to the administration of the resource. Some operators do not have the special equipment, so they technically could not block a particular page, and the Russians were forced to close access to the entire site livejournal.com.

Interestingly, the blog russ-wolf stopped updated in September 2012, and a particular record, which caused such a strong reaction from the Prosecutor General’s Office, was made November 1, 2011. Until February 1, 2013 to record was not made any comments.

some secret, which operates Roscomnadzor was premeditated policy. If you hide information about blocking all LJ is quite difficult, and this action can be seen as a show of strength and opportunities of the new law, then once again to promote extremist sites there is no need.

Alexander Zharov,

Chapter Roskomnadzora Alexander Zharov, and said in an interview “the Newspaper”: “We have no desire to attract attention to these resources of society.” According Zharov, “familiarity with the content of blocked sites is inconclusive: its purpose – to sow hatred and enmity».

Simultaneously

Zharov hastened to reassure the electronic media. According to officials, the media, and so live in a time when the spread of extremist materials is prohibited – the new law, certain Zharov, is not something new for them.

At the same time under attack may be social networks. Chapter Roskomnadzora sure riots, for example, occurred in the past year in West Biryulyovo were precisely coordinated through social networks. Zharov expects to use the accumulated experience of interaction with administrations Roskomnadzora network “VKontakte», Facebook, Google+. Well, if in the future blocking social networks will operate within a few minutes, as it happened with the “Living Magazine” on February 1. However, under the law, the agency in any case will block the first page, and only then contact the administration of networks, so you can easily submit and longer interruptions.

Now

management of social networks will pay more attention to user-generated content, and perhaps even change the rules of functioning and community building. Zharov hopes that the social network administrators learn to warn users against violations of the laws and even their own block illegal content before it will attract the attention of the Prosecutor General. “Examples of such behavior on the part of the administration of social networks, we occasionally observe,” – said in an interview Zharov.

I must admit that two years ago and post nick russ_wolf administration “LiveJournal” could block, using only rules of the User Agreement, which is known to act within the law of California. But, apparently, “The Diary of Slav”, in addition to the Attorney General and his deputies, before last Saturday nobody read.
