Roskomnadzor banned animesayt "Sankakukon." Who will discontently bark, that in prison: "not a patriot!"

It has come true, one of the darkest prophecies of mine has come true, it has come true literally.



Not once, but twice this year ( August 8 and September 24 ), I predicted an approach to technological Shari'a in Russia on the model of the State of Kuwait (دولة الويت), citing as an example the Kuwaiti notice of access restriction “for pornography” appearing when trying open a fairly innocuous article on the anime website “Sankaku Complex” (on Sankakukone, what is his name for short):





')

I argued on August 8 that if at first one of the ministers of Pakistan in September 2012 offered a reward for killing the author of the movie “The Innocence of Muslims”, calling him “discrediting the image of the Prophet”, and then Gray was surprised to see in early February that all of YouTube had been for months in a row remains blocked by Beeline throughout the North Caucasus Federal District of Russia (including even the Stavropol region, where Muslims do not prevail), then the Kuwaiti initiative, after Pakistan, will inevitably respond to bans in the Russian Inter nete aimed at combating anime sites. I also laid out half a dozen ironic limericks on this topic.





So it happened.



Today (November 1), a letter from Roskomnadzor was published on the Sankaku Complex website , announcing the blocking “for child pornography”.



What can be seen in this publication?



First, the Sankakukon website demonstratively illustrates it with the cover of an erotic manga (very frankly) and reports that “it is not obliged to obey the laws of despotic regimes”. That is, the letter of Roskomnadzor had the opposite effect expected.



Secondly, Sankakukon announces that the original order (to remove materials within three days) was not even received by them - only the final blocking message was sent to Sankakukon by the hosting providers.



Thirdly, Roskomnadzor required out of millions of pictures to remove only three that contain erotica based on the Touhou Project . Unfortunately, Sankakukon does not give their exact addresses, so we don’t know exactly what those illustrations were. Nevertheless, for more than one minute, I was constantly scratching my head, trying to guess which image of exactly the Touhou characters Roskomnadzor could consider childish. It is impossible not to indicate that the majority among them are not people, but demoness ( youkai ), ghouls, fairies, deceased, and so on. That is, Roskomnadzor brings to mind the events of New Zealand, where it was relatively recently released from prison (although a ten-year suspended sentence is still threatened) by a citizen who posted on the Internet only anime about sex life of fictional (and only partially human-like) characters — elves and fairies.



Fourthly, the publication on Sankakukon ends with a council: those affected by the blocking can overthrow the Russian government or purchase a VPN.



Fifthly, as is often the case, the comments are also interesting.



Some commentators report that they are from Russia, but their “Sankaku Complex” is perfectly visible. In response, they are told that the lock simply did not take effect yet.



Another part of the commentators is limited to comments that are non-patriotic (and not even anti-patriotic). Censorship and foul language (at the address of the Russian government, Russia, Russian laws), hate confessions, calls to “blame”, and so on.



It is familiar. It is not difficult to see the same anti-patriotic reaction on Habrahabr on the “Dura Lex” blog whenever a new legislative or law-enforcement initiative “from above” that can affect the Internet freedom of speech or creativity is mentioned.



However, in the near future it is just such an ordinary Internet reaction that can be punished without mercy by five years in prison. Today, news came out in Izvestia: “ Insulting patriotic feelings they want to equate to extremism, ” every reader of which with amazement and horror learns that Fair Russia party has generated a bill that offers “legislative protection of patriotic feelings” in this way (prison!) Russian citizens from provocations and insults directed against our country, ”and this proposal was even sent to the Supreme Court and the government for conclusion. If the conclusion turns out to be approving, then article 282 (which is now gloomily known for the “rubberiness” of the wording) will be supplemented by one more corpus delicti.



(And they called this party "Fair Russia"? They mock the people.)



We will close the erotica about the characters from "Tojo" -

And we will all be served if we express how bad it is.
