Roscomnadzor and Attorney General’s office will hold a joint training to teach the prosecutors properly use special programs to block extremist sites. Until now, Russia’s laws provide for closing access to the sites for three days – responsible authorities sent their decisions Roscomnadzor for action. To block sites more quickly, prosecutors will have to understand the features of network addressing and learn to work with speyialnoy information system.

told “Izvestia” representative Roskomnadzora Vadim Ampelonsky, the aim of this study – “to improve the skills of employees of the Prosecutor General at work with our electronic system interface information interaction».

– At making qualified prosecutorial decisions necessary to fix the most complete list of URL-addresses that lead to illegal content. If present, prosecutors will be able to properly execute their technical requirements and Roscomnadzor – to provide the most effective blocking extremist content, – he explained.

According

entered into force on 1 February amendments to the Law “On Information …” extremist content sites in Russia is necessary to block “immediately”. To provide such efficiency, the prosecutors themselves must make information about detected extremist pages in a special database – it will update regularly download all ISPs country.

first days of the new procedure brought a few surprises. Finding in one of the posts “LiveJournal” extremist text, representatives of law enforcement agencies recorded in the blacklist is not a specific record, and it contains all the blog by LJ. As a result, this blog proved entirely blocked all Russian providers. And some who can not block the hospitality page, “closed” whole site “LiveJournal».

Roskomnadzor believe that their department, Attorney General’s office, telecom operators and administration LJ worked very quickly and smoothly.

– enforcement mechanism is clearly established in law: first lock, then subsequent removal of information and unlock. February 1 access livejournal.com different operators is actually absent for one to three minutes. In such legal conditions – which is very high rate of interaction – said Ampelonsky.

There is evidence that some prosecutors in Russia need to increase knowledge in the field of IT. At the Ministry of Justice website is “federal list of extremist materials” – decision on the inclusion of texts, films, recordings, etc. this list made by the court on the basis of the prosecutor. Now this list a lot of records that 01.wmv, 02.wmv, 03.wmv. It turns out that any file with the same name is automatically extremist.

– Prosecutors do not always get on the Internet. For example, in the list of extremist materials can be found the “path” to the file on the local computer, someone – says the former head of LiveJournal in Russia Ilya Dronov.

– We remember the stories when the regional prosecutor’s petition the local courts, demanding to block, for example, the entire video service YouTube. Now prosecutors will try not to block the whole resource, namely the specific page where the content is illegal – said the representative of Ru-center Andrei Vorobyov. – We want the state to block a dot rather than the entire IP-address of the site. We would also like to receive justification from the prosecution – why such and such information should be blocked.

Under the new rules, after the site owner extremist remove information from its pages, the site will be unlocked quickly.
