Alexander Zharov gave an interview for Vedomosti

First went

The head of Roskomnadzor about bloggers and Internet regulation . The link is a complete interview.
In particular, they touched upon the distribution of the site blocking mechanism, initially aimed at protecting children, on an increasing number of topics, on blocking the Navalny site and many other issues.



And, of course, the hot topic is the law on bloggers:

- On August 1, the so-called blogger law comes into force, which obliges the owners of popular blogs to register with Roskomnadzor and comply with the rules on the publication of reliable information, etc. Is it already clear how you will count blog traffic, which counters will be used? Will Roskomnadzor have its own meter?
')
- We will not develop our counter yet, although this possibility is being discussed. We will use public counters recognized by the industry - OpenStat, Yandex.Metrica, Rating.Mail.ru, Liveinternet, and others. We will only do our counter if we realize that these tools are not enough to effectively implement our functions.

- Will Roskomnadzor compile a list of popular bloggers and offer them to register in the registry?

- There will be no “all-Russian census of bloggers”. We have developed, together with the industry, a methodology for determining attendance, which provides several possibilities.

A blogger can install a recommended counter on his page, independently calculate his attendance and register on his own initiative. If he does not want to do this, then we will focus on signals from citizens and organizations that will turn our attention to one or another blogger. We have already agreed with the owners of the named meters that they will refine their services according to the goals and methodology of this law. We also have the right to contact the site for information about the daily attendance of a separate blog. With their help, we will be able to determine the attendance of a blogger and notify him about registering in the registry if he has more than 3000 visits per day.

- And if the blogger says "I do not want"?

- We are in the process of forming a special conflict commission at Roskomnadzor, which will include representatives of Internet sites and reputable experts in the field of the Internet. All disputes will be handled by this commission.

The law does not provide liability for a blogger for the violation of this particular law. We cannot apply direct measures to him - except to apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that he could be given an administrative fine of up to 1,000 rubles. for disorderly conduct, such as swearing.

But we have a more effective mechanism - we can make a claim on the Internet site that hosts the blog. For sites this is, of course, a problem, since if they do not take any measures, they will face fines of up to 500,000 rubles. or even blocking. So I think that agreements between Internet resources and users will spell out some effective mechanisms for the impact of the site on a blogger for the malicious ignoring of the requirements of the law by the latter.
