“Ru-center” has changed the rules for the registration of domains of level III - the beginning of censorship?

“Ru-Center” made several changes to the regulatory documents, which will take effect from February 24 (interesting excerpts are lower) and allow you to “kill” the 3rd level domain.

The new version of the Third Level Domain Registration Regulations stipulates that the Contractor has the right to immediately terminate the delegation of a domain in order to curb illegal activities, as well as activities detrimental to third parties, including distribution and advertising of pornographic materials, incitement to violence, extremist activities, overthrow of power , etc. In addition, the delegation of the domain used for the purposes of the activity, public interest, principles of humanity and morality, insulting human dignity or religious feelings, etc.

At the same time, how much activity contradicts public interests, principles of humanity and morality, offends dignity and calls for the overthrow of power. “Ru-Center” can determine itself: “ In this case, the Registrar has the right to independently evaluate the User’s activities for violations of the law, including when the definition of such actions is not enshrined in regulations . "
')
As a bonus, the user is also prohibited to post information or software that violates the current legislation of the Russian Federation and / or the rights of third parties.

It is clear that all this so far applies only to third-level domains. However, an interesting coincidence is one well-known address located on a third-level domain, namely echo.msk.ru with whois like this:
domain: ECHO.MSK.RU
...
registrar: RU-CENTER
created: 2010.04.24
paid-till: 2013.01.20

It is interesting what will happen if some manager of the Ru-Center “decides” at some critical moment that some article contradicts public interests, principles of humanity and morality, offends human dignity. Interesting thoughts climb into the head on the subject, who exactly the article can “insult” and whose interests “contradict”.

Information on the Ru-Center website .

It is clear that while this is not at all censored (the content is not deleted, it is valid only for third-level domains + only in the rules of the Ru-Center), but the possible trend is unpleasant.

UPD: it turns out yesterday was a topic based on the same news. The spam filter that was built into the head immediately prevented reading something called “Evaluate your activity. Inexpensive ”- probably my mistake (which, however, once again speaks about the importance of the title). However, here I am not focusing on assessing that the Ru-Center itself can make a decision, namely on the political background in the style of new points on the overthrow of power, contradiction to public interests, etc., and their consequences, for example, for "Echo of Moscow", which was not in that topic (only someone in the comments saw the essence). Therefore, even the topics are based on one thing, but they call for discussion on various issues - perhaps I will not hide my own (however, I have already begun to merge my karma).
