State Drug Control Department pursues Alizar
Relatively recently - on October 14, 2011 - alizar translated and posted on Habrahabr the article by Glenn Greenwald “ Steve Jobs and the policy on drug trafficking ”, the author of which completed his work with the following inference:
- Considering all these facts, the experience of Steve Jobs and many other prominent people, and also taking into account the experience of millions of Americans on the use of light drugs (among them the current and past presidents of the United States), the cruel punishment - imprisonment provided for in the legislation many countries for the trafficking of light drugs and psychedelics. Millions of people are thrown into prison for taking these almost harmless drugs, while those who remain at liberty, like Steve Jobs, take them in secret. The policy of the authorities in this sense can be called barbarism.

I am not sure whether the best illustration of the rigor of Greenwold condemned is possible than the one that followed in reality. Not Shtatovskaya, but quite the Russian Federal Service for the Control of Drug Trafficking contacted the Habrahabr administration and asked for all the data on Alizar, accusing him of promoting the spread of drugs - Denis Kryuchkov( @deniskin , the creator of Habrahabrr) told about it yesterday on Twitter , and Vladislav Mikheev retold in "Webplanet".
Leaving aside the question of the actual harmfulness of psychedelics, we can easily see here that the severity of the law falls primarily on everyone who puts this severity into doubt, that is, it serves, first and foremost, the self-preservation of the system. And the impossibility of publicly discussing the rules of trafficking of certain medical and near-medical funds is only the smallest of the troubles threatening a citizen of each country in which the population is not granted the unshakable foundations of civil liberty on the basis of the real integrity of the person, freedom of conscience, speech, assembly and union . For example, the Federal list of extremist materials , replenishing not more than seven years (since 2004), already contains 979 prohibited works, whereas the Roman Catholic Index Librorum Prohibitorum took four centuries (from 1559 to 1948) in order to collect them 4000. You will not be able to seriously discuss the validity of any of these prohibitions on the Web even if by virtue of the ban on citing extremist materials.
Perhaps this sad case should also indicate to some advocates of the most radical views on the need to refrain from participating in the Authors ’incentive program, which inevitably provides the Habrahabr administration with such information about the blogger, the provision of which to the public services he might consider overly hasty search for the owner of a pseudonym, which have ominous gears sluggish state machine, inclined crush it between your sharp teeth.
