No block! Nowhere to retreat - behind offline

It’s hard to find a person who likes the latest legislative initiatives regarding the Web, but there are very few constructive suggestions on what to do about it. Let’s still try to figure out how to act legally in this situation, so as not to give a chance to spread the wings of rabid censorship, not to wait for the wholesale flight of specialists from the country and burning tires in Moscow. The comments are warmly welcome constructive.

Yes, the petition against the 187-FZ did not have the desired effect and the fears that were expressed when writing it are justified day after day. However, she forced to organize an official conference , led to a series of articles in the media, thanks to which the general public once again remembered their rights, showed that there are many of us, we are decentralized, but united in the struggle for our Network.

Comrade bypasser proposed an interesting way to fight - sending electronic and paper messages, which, with a certain mass character, will not go unnoticed, and the authorities are obliged to give an answer to them. We have developed this idea to a full-fledged campaign, collected different ways in one place presented in a visual, convenient form.

Block-NO !: anti-terrorism campaign

For those who are prone to cryptography, I would like to emphasize that if earlier the draft laws regulating the Network were aimed at technical methods to restrict access, now the rhetoric has shifted towards punishment, directly, of citizens. Are you ready to "knock" on your users?

If your site is blocked or you meet a block

• Report blocked resources .
• Record any damage - material and moral.
• Write complaints, send answers to us. The more there are, the more noticeable the problem, and each reply is an argument for the COP and the ECHR.
• Submit claims against Roskomnazdor, it will be possible to combine them into collective ones, with a large number.
• Try to persuade the provider or hoster to take your side and subscribe to your appeal. This is also important for the provider, which will be “extreme”. As we found out from MP Schlegel, on dialog.so, there is no fair respondent for unlawful blocking (ie, the respondent can only be the plaintiff, at whose request the blocking was made)
• Make and use mirrors of sites and blogs in the backdrops.
• Join the IT-union

If you are a provider or hoster

• Contact us to organize your rights to net neutrality in an organized manner.
• Sign collective appeals, express the position of the industry, your vote weight.
• Post on the pages of blocking 451 instructions for circumventing it .
• Collaborate with your users, conduct explanatory work, you have unprecedented opportunities to cover the issue.

At the moment, in the eyes of the public, you are the same victims as your clients, while nobody personally wants to plead for unlawful blocking by IP with you personally, but when you use truly socially dangerous solutions - there is no question of any status of the victim can not.

If you are Yandex / Google / Kiwi / etc

• Collect signatures, organize collective letters from business representatives, publish them in the public domain.
• Use the popularity of their resources for the large-scale announcement of civil initiatives.
• Educate users. Increase technical literacy, civic awareness. While you can do it.
• Provide legal, informational and material assistance to initiative groups.

Is the business lobby able to promote only a reduction in the limit for duty-free entry and the prohibition of fascist tanks ? Ebay, in turn, sent out a mailing to all Russian users with a request to vote on the ROI against lowering the limit on duty-free imports . Wikipedia did not bend, and so far no one dared to block it. QIWI, you, like, shares got stuck off . I'm a ndex, so how about a banner ?

It is necessary to act in the legal sphere, and not to be forgotten, burrowing into the VPN and the network. Otherwise, there will be only one line before the disaster. In addition, it makes sense to build a backup warning system for citizens about ways to restore access to resources, for there are two types of admins ...
