Born to be free

Today the free and even common for the whole world Internet is going to be separated on two parts. Experts afraid of the begginig the digital cold war and call for coming to a compromis. But developed countries see a danger of UNO will legalize Internet control. The World Wide Web in this way will be separated into numerous national networks. 



There are even an example of such separation ^ China, Saudi Arabia, Iran. In China there is practically no any access to Livejournal, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. In Iran the YouTube had been blocked since 2009. This happened after mass protests, caused by reelection of Muhammad Ahmandinejada.

Users in Iran do not have access to Facebook and Twitter and also a wide range of popular sites, that are accused of being pornographic or offensive for Islam. It is considered that such sites are threaten national security.


Not so long ago, by the order of Iranian lieder ayatollah Alo Hamenei was formed an In supervision agency - a virtual space Supreme Council. It includes such high officials as a Minister of Information and culture, chiefs of the police and IRGC (Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution). In 2010 IRGC formed a special department to struggle with the “ destructive” nets and several thousand of Iranian citizens who violate the Internet law were arrested.At that time it was created a national Internet, practically wholly independent from the WWW. For example Mehr. It is a site that is going to be the YouTube competitor for Iranian speaing people.

Iranian user found a way to avoid prohibitions with a help of special programmes by imitating the computer location in another country. Of course it is illegal to distribute such a programme in Iran.
The access to such a social networks and news sites is blocked practically in all totalitarian countries, for example in Turkmenistan.

Russia also is speaking about a “logical” Internet regulation/ It was offered to prohibit anonymous registration. The attempts to censor Internet is officially explained as the fight with the terrorism and child pornography. Also it is discussing the amendments into a bill about connections and information, that will allow to block different Net resources.

A Western world also is moving slowly but surely towards the Internet control. In May, 2011 in Dovil was accepted the declaration G8 that supports intellectual property rights (IPR) security measures. Such bill as “ Secure Intellectual Property Rights” or “ Stop Piracy” , that will began the Internet censorship are considering in the USA. The Google creator Sergey Brin is sure that the threat to a free Unternet is coming not only from China and Iran, but also from Apple and Facebook, who by data sharing limits divide Internet among each other.


Maybe soon there will only several zones of a free Internet. The introduction of the approved network censorship under the UNO is a scary tale that can become a true story.

Russian Federal Surveillance Service for Mass Media and Communications ( Roscomnadzor) will pay for extremists catching

The Roscomnadzor announced the competition on a conclusion of a monitoring Media contract. Its aim is to reveal, to fix and to give a first expert-analytical estimation of materials containing features of the violation of current law of Russian Federation, extremists materials and another illegal content. It was written by the “Izvestia”.



Such competitions are held annually by the Roscomnadzor since 2009. However a technical issue of this competition started to include new points this year: revealing information injures the health and development of children, Media and Internet monitoring with the help of the automotive programme.

The Russian Federal Surveillance Service for Mass Media and Communications ( Roscomnadzor) will give results of the competition in the end of the January and a contract concluded due to the results of this competition will be in force till December 31, 2013. The maximum contract price is 35 million of rubles. In the last year competition won a state company “Informregister”, the contract cost 12 million of rubles with this company was the only pretender.

The purpose of a work within the contract is a monitoring of the meeting the law requirements by the Media to not allow abusing the freedom of a mass information.

The information that the executor will reveal includes: materials, containing public calls to realize terrorist activity or any information justifying terrorism; content that is calling to violence methods aimed at changes of the foundations of the constitutional system, exciting an ethnic, racial and religious strives. Besides it includes publications about the public and knowingly false accusations of state authorities of extremists actions etc.

One more new task is a systematic monitoring. The winner will monitor nearly 2000 different additions a month, it will include also 40 online versions of certain newspapers.  

Despite, the work includes some points about Media monitoring. This contract does not imply the operator of the Internet resources register that contains the information that injures child, explained Vladimir Pikov, the representative of the Roscomnadzor.

- The register includes not only Media but also the Internet  materials that are not included in the Mass Media Information. At present time we are kipping the register and we do it quite well. The competition does not include the company-register operator, noted Pikov.

Sergey Moiseev, the president of the the Guild of Press Publishers (GIPP) also think that Media monitoring is not something terrible: it is necessary to monitor Media. “ I do not consider monitoring as a censorship”.


The question is “ How the results will be used. Permissiveness and democracy are different things, especially if the matter is about extremism and international relationship”, - said Moiseev.

Russia and China submitted to UNO an offer to tighten up the Internet control. USA accused Russia in authoritarianism.

Russia, China and a number of other countries have submitted to ITU an offer to tighten up the international Internet control, to deprive American companies of monopoly on IP addresses and domains.

The matter is to allow ONU countries to distribute and remove registered IP addresses and domain names.




At recent time the main Internet regulators are several American non-government organizations, they are IETF, W3C and ICANN.

According to “Vzglyad.ru” the USA and Google in response accused Russia of authoritarianism. Also UK, Canada. Australia and a number of Europe countries are against this initiative. Particularly, Moscow was accused of introduction of censorship. A member of State Duma of Information Policy and Technologies Robert Shlegel explained that Internet Censorship and the Internet and domain delegation governance are different things.

“Disputes about Internet censorship are very funny, because every country has an opportunity to limit Network access by the Parliament or executive power decision. If you, for example offer an Internet service you can block the access to certain resources, and you can a lot of other things, but it doesn’t refer to domain delegation” - he said.

We remind that on December 3 in Dubai on the ITU conference Russia submitted a number of offers according internationalization of Internet, that caused a sharp criticism from USA, EU and Google.

Internet censorship in Central Asia

It is hard to find a site that will irritates politicians of a Central Asia more than Fergana.ru. Working abroad Fergana reports such themes that local Media is not able. This reports concerns everything from Uzbekistan president corruption system to nationalistic ideas of the lieder of the “ Ata-Jurt” party in Kyrgyzstan and tortures in Tajikistan jails.



Just for this reason the Fergana site is blocked in 4 countries:  Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. According to the chief editor Diniil Kislov point of view the aim of the government is to block the access to the Internet resource proves that “ Fergana” publishes a truth.

Daniil Kislov tells how Fergana became one of the leading informational resources in Central Asia in the interview with the “ Voice of America”.

Erica Marat: How popular are you in Central Asia, where Fergana is officially prohibited?

Daniil Kislov: Despite the fact that our site is blocked  the audience is big because nowadays due to the Internet options and even if you’re not a specialist it is easy to avoid a site’s blocking. It is a pity that government authorities of the Central Asia countries do not understand that it is practically impossible to block smth in The Internet.

A number of people who read our site through the proksi - servers or other programs is a half of all our readers.  

We always give our readers the alternative ways to get access to our site. For example they can read it through Facebook or Google Reader.

E.M.: Politicians of Kyrgyzstan and other countries accused Fergada of being aimed at setting undermining or destabilization of the situation in the region. What do you think about this?

D.K.: Everybody, even parliament deputies have their own opinion. But it would be better if the decision to block sites is procedurally correct. After blocking our site (6 month ago) we were trying to explain to the authorities of Kyrgyzstan that this measures are illegal and if they want to block us than the general prosecutors should take a legal action. Then a court based on some expertize should proves that the site contradicts the extremism law and only after this they have the right to block it.

But for some unknown reasons our site was blocked without the court decision. So that is why we applied to the Bishkek inter-regional court.


So today Kyrgyzstan will have an interesting issue against blocking that can  shows the situation in the country (and what the society and a court think about unconditioned censorship in the Internet - author’s example).
E.M.: Does that mean that other 3 countries of Central Asia that blocked Fergana blocked this site by the court decision?

D.K.: Of course not. The difference is that in these countries are another mechanism. It is legal there to block sites without any court decision but just after some authorities directions to the Internet providers. So Kyrgyzstan is a good way to fight legally with blocking because it is possible to apply to a court.

On the dangers of information: the Internet has come the age of censorship

In 2012 a number of Internet users reached 2 billion 400 million people,that is more than 34% of the population. It’s popularity has reached such proportions that the web and web-pages, even had its own Catholic patron (though still unofficially) Isidore of Seville. Television, that has always been an effective tool of propaganda, gradually losing its viewers, confusing the Web. It is logical that the Internet can not attract the attention of officials responsible for the supply of the "right" information.О вреде информации: в Интернете настал век цензуры
Leaders in the of Internet censorship spreading are China and a number of Islamic countries. Arab countries like Pakistan and Iran, as a rule block sites for religious reasons.

The PRC government, in turn, openly "protects" citizens from unwanted information. In China, the system of "Golden Shield" ("China's great firewall"), according to which all sites are filtered by keywords, "the State Security" also in the blacklist of web-pages. With significant restrictions in China started its work the major search engines Google and Yahoo, and all the Chinese sites must be registered with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Victim of such an information policy was "Wikipedia", which was banned in China under the pretext of "combating propaganda of violence in the media".

In addition, the Chinese segment of the Internet operates "Umaodan" - grouping, consisting of about 300 thousand bloggers and forum users who express a positive view of the government of China, the Chinese Communist Party and ongoing public policy. Informal name for the virtual party comes from the word "Mao" - the monetary measures is half yuan (about 2.5 rubles.).So much for the bloggers get one positive comment on the activities of the state.

However, the government of China is not limited to virtual methods. In 2011 The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has published a report that described the increasing pressure on Chinese journalists above the "Arab Spring." The protests in countries where there were coups, began with the organization of demonstrations in social networks, so the events of the "Arab Spring" is often called "the revolution through Facebook". The Chinese authorities have reacted very badly on the calls for a "Chinese Jasmine Revolution", which appeared in the Internet. Many journalists, bloggers, human rights, culture and civil society activists have been illegally detained and tortured.

Eg Chinese brothers decided to follow the regime of Vladimir Putin on 1 September 2012 force of law "On the protection of children from harmful to their health and development information". The document signed by the former President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in July 2011 aims to protect children from the devastating, traumatic information that influence on their psyche, an overabundance of cruelty and violence in popular media sources. The document also includes the protection of the child from information that could develop his vicious propensities and form a "distorted view of the world and the wrong attitudes."

Tajikistan wants to introduce Internet censorship

The Government of Tajikistan plans to create a single point of monitoring IP-networks, which will be required to connect all of the network provider, reported "Interfax".

According to them, there is already a draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers, involving the creation of Tajiktelecom center.


"The purpose of this center is to ensure compliance with the requirements of laws, information security, prevention of violations of the rights of individuals and legal entities, preventing cases of low-quality services", - quoted the draft resolution of one of the sources.

How the center is going to control the execution of the act, the sources could not explain.

"While there are consultations, we interviewed industry experts, exploring the need for such a body, but it goes to the fact that it will still be created", - said one of the sources.

In 2006 and 2009, the Ministry of Communications of Tajikistan proposes creating a single switching center through which you will have to connect all the Tajik ISPs. However, after discussion, the government abandoned the idea.

The head of the Association of Tajikistan Internet Providers Asomuddin Atoev told reporters that this body would infringe several legal aspects. "Creation of the conflict with the legislation of the country, in particular, the law" On the partnership between the state and the private sector ", a competition law and other legislations of Tajikistan," - said A.Atoev. According to him, the Centre "will lead to a weakening of information and economic security and the denial of rights of legal entities and individuals".

Tajik authorities often use the blocking of Internet resources for what often follows concerns expressed by Western diplomats and the OSCE. In March of this year for a few days was blocked social network Facebook. Currently in Tajikistan remain blocked sites of a Russian news agencies, news channel "Russia 24" (www.vesti.ru), news agency "Fergana" (fergananews.com), as well as a number of websites that specialize in placing critical materials existing authorities of Tajikistan.

Tightened Internet censorship. In the U.S.

Recently, the U.S. government has more control over the content of Internet communications. It is stated in the report about the "situation with human rights in the U.S." whichhab been issued by the Russian Foreign Ministryon on October 23.

The ministry said that censorship in the U.S. Internet segment is how to use the law hrough the pressure on companies "that are responsible for the web content."

As an illustration of the first method is the Law "On Protection of Children in the Internet" (Children Internet Protection Act, 2000), who in exchange for the grant of access to the Internet requires schools and libraries to create filters to block certain pages. In addition, the claim in the Foreign Ministry, the U.S. government under the threat of prosecution "pushes" the removal of the web pages of "undesirable" information. "

Meanwhile, on November 1 in Russia comes into the Federal Law № 139, in which the country will establish a register of sites with prohibited content.

Гипермаркет ИКЕА
IKEA hypermarket
First staged in Ikea censorship of Pussy Riot, and now under attack are all women! On October 1 Swedish furniture company removed from their catalog pictures of women in Saudi Arabia that caused the rebellions of the two female ministers in Stockholm.

Swedish edition free newspaper Metro was the first who wrote about this, saying that Saudi directory contains exactly the same pictures as in other countries, except for the conspicuous absence of women. A company representative confirmed this information in an interview with AFP.

"We deal with this problem and having some talks with Saudi our franchise", - says Ulrika Englesson Sandeman , a spokesman for Inter Ikea Systems, which owns the world-famous brand. In particular, it noted that in entering the new market the company is constantly striving to find a balance between their own values, and local laws and culture, which may not be consistent. The incident caused a real shock in Sweden, which attaches great importance to gender equality.

China blocks access to foreign social networks

Some of them use to bypass filters virtual private networks

A recent report, according to which China is experiencing a steady growth in the number of Internet users who have access to "Facebook" and "Twitter" in Beijing is criticized.

Experts note that despite the growth of Internet literacy of its population, only a small proportion of the population of China has the tools needed to overcome the government's Internet censorship.

A GlobalWebIndex(London-based research Internet company) says that about 8 percent of Chinese Internet users have "Twitter", and 8 percent have "Facebook" - despite the fact that access to both social networks in this country is blocked.

But Michael Anti - a well known Chinese blogger, a columnist in the magazine and a defender of freedom of the Internet, said that the report greatly overestimates the prevalence of social media in the Western China.

Access to the Internet in China in the last decade has grown considerably. But the government retains control over servers located in the country, and prohibits content that is considered harmful.

Access to social networks with servers located abroad - such as "Twitter" and "Facebook" - can be obtained only by bypassing the filter system.

Virtual Private Network (VPN), for example, is a technology that provides a secure Internet communication. Companies outside China provide services based on it, which allow people to surf the Internet anonymously through spaces located overseas - thus avoiding blocking by the Chinese authorities.

Despite the fact that many people use these services to gain access to the information that the Chinese censors have blocked, more and more Chinese people bypass Internet filters for commercial purposes.

Research company International Data Corporation recently predicted China to double-digit growth in demand for products that provide security on the Internet - and almost 40 percent of this increase due to the VPN and firewall technologies.

Most companies of safety technology on the Internet, do not provide detailed information of the number of people using technology VPN - or how Chinese consumers use their products.

However, according to a study conducted in 2010, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University (USA), in countries where there is a set of internet filters, less than 3 percent of its users use the tools to overcome them.

John Russell, editor of the Internet-technologies online magazine Next Web, recognizes the existence of a tendency to spread security tools on the Internet, including virtual private networks.

However, he notes that the average Chinese Internet users still do not feel the need to use foreign social networks.

"In the absence of services such as" Twitter "or" Facebook ", local networks have gained strength and became very popular" - he said.

The "Sino-Veybo", the most popular Chinese counterpart, "Twitter", 300 million registered users. He became one of the most powerful platforms for posting comments, videos and pictures on the Internet.

Censorship on home sites in China, such as "Veybo" rather widespread - and often done by the companies that want to avoid the wrath of the authorities.

Russell says that this type of self-censorship brings more harm to Chinese Internet users.

The Ministry of Communications has developed a mechanism for blocking sites with illegal content

Key proposals of Internet companies and operators were not included.

Ministry of Communications published a draft government decree regulating mechanism of blocking sites containing illegal content for distribution. According to the law to protect children from harmful information from November 1, these sites will be included in a single register, which will lead Roskomnadzor. On Thursday, the project was discussed at a meeting of a working group consisting of representatives of the Ministry of Communications, the Federation Council, Roskomnadzor and the representatives of Internet companies and operators as reported in the ministry.

The officials Project caused a sharp criticism of market participants. "The representatives of the industry were asked to consider the document during a day, that, in our opinion, does not correspond either with the complexity of the problem, nor with its importance for the development of the Internet in Russia", - as it is said in a statement of the Russian Association of Electronic Communications (RAEC, combines More than 90 Internet companies).

According to the project the black list will include domain names, URLs, and network of illegal resources. Meanwhile, it is naerly a month when market participants say the blocking of the IP-address will cause suffer of honest resources that are on the same IP-address with the illegal site.

IP blocking is supported by operatores. Otherwise they will have to invest heavily in the installation of their network across Russia. They are designed to manage the traffic in the networks - for example, they can be used in many ways for different tariff services. Russian mobile operators will have many benefites from this. DPI also can for example, to block access to a certain type of content is not the whole Internet site or a specific page, located at a specific address (URL). But such systems are not cheap. And in order to use them to filter access to sites all over Russia, operators must implement DPI not only on mobile, but on fixed networks. MTS evaluated before the introduction of such a system on their networks at $ 51 million.

Proposed blacklisting and subsequent blocking of web pages, which contained illegal information, enables courts or competent authorities to decide on the entry in the register without specifying the location of the information on the resource. This, says BGN creates risks for censorship, banning citation, and significantly restricts the rights of the site owner to appeal the decision.

The Ministry of Communications has fulfilled his the promise - a part of the proposals RAEC is taken into account, but it doesn’t mean to write a law dictated by the association, parries Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Communications of Alexei Volin. To fulfill the wish of RAEC and block instead of a web page specific information posted on it, it is very difficult organization, he explains: much easier to block IP-address, the more that has the names of some resources (for example, with the word porno) clearly informed about their content.
Telecommunications Ministry will prepare a final version of the document on Monday and it is hardly anything in the text will be changed significantly, he said, "Vedomosti" a source in the Ministry of Communications. After that, the document will go for approval to the other departments.

Anonymous users: how to protect themselves from online surveillance?

The Belarusian authorities are systematically tracked down regime disgruntled through the Internet . Often it is enough to know the IP-address of the computer from network of which goes "objectionable" content. What to do?


Several opposition moderators communities in social networks were detained in Minsk on August 30. The experience of other countries in which the opponents of the regime are being repressed, shows that online activists hide their real names for reasons of security. In this case, the alias is usually enough - after evaluating the IP-address, the security forces can easily find the owner of the account. For those who want to avoid such trouble, we offer some practical advice.

There are many ways to hide or anonymize IP-address of your computer. The most appropriate option depends on three factors: special technical qualification, installing a software on your computer and speed connection. In addition, it is important to realize the risks. For example, in some countries, the use of Web proxy is prohibited by law.

New email address
Do not use your primary email address to register on social networking or blogging platforms. First, you probably have "inherited" them on the web. For example, by making a purchase at the online store, you will surely have indicated not only in your email address and real name, home or work address. Second, if you use a local mail host, the law enforcement agencies will not be difficult to find out from your ISP's IP-address.

But it is extremely difficult to get this information from a foreign hosting provider. International organization "Reporters without Borders" in its memo "How to blog anonymously" specifically recommends hushmail.com and gmail.com. Both mail service by default encrypt traffic, so keep track of what and who sends the user is almost impossible.

Anonymous Proxy Server
If you go to the Web from your home computer, it's best to do it through an anonymous proxy. List of free proxy servers can be found, for example, at: publicproxyservers.com . Another way - to drive in the search box Google the phrase "proxy server high anonymity".

Most of the proposed sites are English-speaking, but it is easily to navigate. It is nough to enter in the search box the URL-address of the desired resource. As result you’ll get access to the resource, but your Internet provider that does not "see" it.

But he sees that you have opened a website offering services anonymization. Another minus is a slow connection, because your request goes first to the server located abroad, and then back to you.

Anonymous network connection
If you have the ability and expertise to install the software on your computer, we recommend you to download the so-called multi-layered, or onion router - TOR (The Onion Router). First, you will no longer depend on the availability of Web resources that offer anonymization. Second, TOR provides the highest degree of confidentiality.

When a user sends a request from your computer, it goes through a chain of three randomly selected proxy servers, and before sending the data packet is encrypted with three keys. Each of the three nodes stands for the upper shell and passed on.

TOR program can be downloaded at: torproject.org

If the address is blocked, then the web can easily find a copy of this resource. To do this, type in a search string "onion routing".

TOR also offers a "mobile" version - Xero Bank Browser, you can install on USB-drive and use, for example, in an Internet cafe. It's enough to run the file xB-Browser.exe.

TOR automatically updates a chain of proxy servers every ten minutes, so typing long messages or blog posts better in a text editor, not in a browser window.
