Roskomnadzor bans twenty-nine Japanese manga comics, equates to sex with children

Today (September 24) around midnight on the Izvestia website and then at about one in the afternoon a story appeared on the Russia Today website that Roskomnadzor placed twenty-nine Japanese manga comics on the so-called “black list” (registry of prohibited sites) (both drawn and obtained by 3D-synthesis of images), equating them to child pornography.

News sites cite the following speeches:

“We consider Manga as a type of creative activity that gave rise to the development of Hentai,” said Vladimir Pikov, a representative of Roskomnadzor . - Therefore, the entry in the register of pictures is logical.

“The expert assesses the picture and makes a conclusion about who is depicted on it ,” says Denis Davydov, director of the Safe Internet League (LBI) . - If the character is in a school uniform, then it is clear that this is a child.

According to Roskomnadzor experts, the prohibitions on information products exploit interest in sex and lack cultural and historical value.

It is appropriate to consider this event as a continuation of the story that began this June with the blocking of animated videos.

Then the public was not particularly excited by the precedent that it was not a video of the fact of sexual intercourse with a real child, and not even any live-action film , but just an animated artistic image, not based on real events (for example, rotoscoping photos or sketched by children of sitters), and being the fruit of free imagination of graphic artists, was nevertheless recognized as similar to child porn and blocked on this basis.

Now the borders of the unacceptable are still extended: as you can see, the drawing does not have to be mobile in order to be equal to children's porn. Officials, as you can see, are talking about considering the whole genre of Japanese comics (“manga”) as a basis for erotic comics (“hentai”).

Further, it is very likely, the turn of texts will come, and not even separate insufficiently decent word combinations.

The technological sharia is approaching at the level of the State of Kuwait (دولة الويت), in which an attempt to open a relatively innocuous article leads the reader to a notice of denying access “for pornography”:
