The attack on the free Internet in Ukraine: the Law of Ukraine "On the protection of public morality"

Two weeks ago, the Ukrainian government approved the draft law “On internal trade”, which describes the rules for the operation of online stores. This bill applies only to online stores. But this did not calm down. A week ago, in the first reading, the Verkhovna Rada quietly voted for amending the law “On the protection of public morality”, which contains a set of rules on which the site can be closed by providers during the day as well as issuing information to law enforcement agencies about the owner of the resource.

Let's take a closer look at this bill.


Look at article 11:
')

It is prohibited to place and distribute in telecommunication networks the products specified in Section 10 of this Law.

Operators and providers of telecommunications, providing services for the placement, storage and access to electronic information resources (websites), as well as Internet access services, are required to :
