The bill for 2012: the government "black list" of sites to combat pedophilia, drug addiction and extremism

Yesterday, a story appeared on CNews that the so-called “Safe Internet League” is preparing a bill to create an all-Russian “black list” of such sites, to which no provider will have the right to provide access. The submission of the bill for consideration is scheduled for 2012, which is reasonable, because the bill is such that if you accept it before the elections, then the Internet users, under the impression of this novelty, can do something good to vote in an unplanned way.

Few people will regret pedophiles and drug addicts, but fighting extremism is another matter, as it is a euphemism for unlimited political censorship of a wide scope: fighters against extremism, as I mentioned earlier on Habrahabr, are not ashamed to destroy two million blogs if one unpleasant. (To tell the truth, fighters with pedophiles sometimes go too far .) It is not difficult to foresee that the “black list of sites” will make up the federal list of extremist materials , in which too many points cannot be read without Gogol's laugh through tears.

Even more unpleasant is the likelihood that the appetite will come during the meal, so that the “black list of sites” will be replenished with other such addresses that law enforcement officers could not reach in the traditional way. Well, for example, the address of "torrents.ru" was taken away, but they could not take away the "rutracker.org" - oh, what a temptation to achieve entering the site into the "black list"! And in the end, you can get the worst version like the Australian one , when the contents of the “black list” themselves will be classified (so as not to excite curiosity for the forbidden fruit), and WikiLeaks will be added to the list (to prevent state secrets leaks), and for hyperlinks to forbidden sites they will become illusorious ruin people with fines (eleven thousand dollars a day), and so on.

But the probability is, as you know, there is.
