Censorship in the Internet. “For” and “ Against”

A new bill that limits the access to a harmful Internet resources caused a sharp public discussions. The main question is “How to balance between  the Freedom of the Internet and the security from a dangerous information?” 

Nobody is dispute with the fact that the Freedom of the Internet is a necessary thing. And certainly it is right to fight with a child pornography and drug addiction. According to Dmitri Medvedev words this points are compatible: “ The first. The common principle: the Net should be free. The second: It should follow a number of rules. The third. Basic human rights and fundamental freedoms including the information right from the one hand and the right for security from a harmful content must be obied. 

The new law is supported by the fighters with the  paedophilia. According to Denis Davidov, the chief executive of  The League of Secure Internet, this can help to fight with the crimes towards child: “We support this bill, because the situation with child pornography and paedophilia is very critical. If this bill is not accepted, we will always hear something like “ The police should firstly find the offenders and only after it we have a right to block this site. This is not right. Firstly the access to this site should be blocked for citizens  and then police can search for offender with no worry”. “From the other hand this law can eliminate the Internet freedom” - thinks Ivan Zasurskyi, the director of the Online Publishers Association. “This law wholly changes the Russian Internet. We lived in a free country with a free Internet. We didn’t have any mechanism that allows to block sites without in a moment. But now it’ll appear”.

Many experts pay attention on a technical imperfection of the bill.  Ochir Mandjiev, the Yandex spokesman think that new limitations can harm  right-minded citizens right-minded citizens. If such a content were found on the page of any user, the access to a whole server will be blocked. Blocking one of the segment can lead to blocking of the the whole good resource. Users are afraid, because just if you left a reference to a “ Suicides club” or any site with a ways of how to make a drug the resource will be deleted.
