More than three are not going to: Blogging will need to register

By a strange coincidence, the Habré has not yet covered such an interesting moment - deputies from the State Duma want to force to register popular blogs

Let's consider what will be, how will be and what will happen next?

The amendment prepared by Alexei Mitrofanov (“Fair Russia”), Andrey Lugovoy and Vadim Dengin (both from the Liberal Democratic Party), is about creating a new category of users on the Internet called “blogger”. Deputies suggest that this category includes those who have a minimum of three thousand visits per day on their personal site or page on social networks. In this case, those who fall into this category will be entered in a special register, and will be able to earn money from advertising. Mitrofanov stressed that in the future it is possible to categorize bloggers depending on the number of visitors: "blogger", "super-blogger" and "old-blogger"

And of course, again the registry:

In addition, getting into such a register will oblige the blog owner to check the accuracy of the information posted, follow the rules of election campaigning, do not disseminate information about the private life of citizens, do not distribute extremist materials, specify the age limit for users.

How will they measure?

By the number of visits: If you have 3000 or more visitors - welcome to Roskomnadzor - you are a dangerous criminal blogger.

Oddities

As usual, Roskomnadzor thinks that everyone needs it - he believes that all hosting systems and blogging sites should (!) Inform him about the number of visitors on blogs.

No, of course, it's clear that VKontakte and Mailru may be able to immediately reveal such information, but what about Facebook? Twitter?
It sounds much more funny that hosting companies should do this too, Roskomnadzor again offers to buy all DPI.

Well, perhaps the top can be considered the lack of classification : Which site is a blog, And if more than 1 author writes to a blog? And collective blogs like habr is that?

How likely it will be implemented

1) The Mind Path
With the help of SORM, outgoing connections will be monitored, if it is noticed that certain URLs are highly popular - the URL will be checked for registration

2) The path of realism
Any site to which the complaint came (note, it does not matter if it is a blog, news site, personal card) will be checked in the "registry" if it does not appear in it - blocked
Great method to block everything you want without attracting attention of orderlies .

What to do?

* Politicized in this context is meant - any opinion is different from the opinion of the majority of the CPSU

I have my own personal blog, I am not a politicized person

You can do nothing, 99% nothing will happen to him if there is no complaint

I have a personal blog, I am politicized

I sympathize with you, now to express my personal opinion, most likely it will be possible only for non- Runet

I have more than 50% technical experts / knowledgeable people in my blog.

Prepare them, write about the fact that it can be blocked, give links to extensions for browsers.

Please note that if you have a domain in the .RU zone and / or hosting in the territory of this country, you can relax and have fun getting in the queue to register your blog.

Alternative?

What to use / where to look for an alternative opinion?
1) Tor - Anonymous access to the normal Internet (partially darknet)
2) I2P - Anonymous access to the darknet (alternative Internet)
3) Twister - Anonymous microblogging service

I have written many times about such a Twister, the first time - I told you about what it is, the second time I gave links to the compiled version, which did not take off from 99% of users of the Habr, and the third time - an already build client assembly which unfortunately showed black windows and sometimes flew out.

Important!

As usual, according to tradition, let's refrain from discussing politics, geopolitics and other things that are not very welcome in Habré.
In the post I propose to discuss ways to adequately influence / change the situation or workarounds.
