Expansion of site blocking policy
Strange, but the law passed recently by the State Duma, which radically expands the powers of law enforcement agencies to block websites, was ignored.
Warning: a huge request not to break the rules for this hub , since it was favorably returned to us.
Meet: Bill No. 380323-6 On Amending the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection” . Please love and respect.

The brief essence of this law is that telecom operators are obliged to immediately block access to a resource after receiving a request from the federal executive body. And the demand is the same federal body is obliged to immediately send after the receipt of the appeal of the Prosecutor General or his deputies. Formal reasons for such appeals, I think, are irrelevant (see under the cat). The court does not participate in the chain of appeals in any way.
The site owner is notified, but the resource is blocked in any case . Then the site owner must remove the content that the prosecutor did not like and send a notice to the federal control authority, which, after considering the appeal, should ask the telecoms operators to immediately return the access to the resource again.
What it threatens, I think, no need to explain. If you own a site where users can post their own content (comments, articles, etc.) - you can already hire a 24-hour dispatcher who will monitor appeals from federal agencies. If he notes the right appeal in time and immediately corrects the problem, your website will most likely not be available for a reasonable amount of time (although strictly speaking, the law does not guarantee you this). If you care about the rights of users (and your own), then you still need a staff of lawyers to prove that you are not a camel.
Forbidden information, which the prosecutor may demand to block, include: “appeals for mass riots, extremist activities, incitement of interethnic and (or) interfaith discord, participation in terrorist activities, participation in public mass events held in violation of the established order ”.
The law was introduced by deputy Lugovoy and adopted almost unanimously (only Gudkov and Ponomarev were against it, surprisingly). Video from the discussion (very informative):

By the second reading (which took place a day after the first), tougher amendments were received from Mitrofanov and Zheleznyak , which were adopted together with the law simultaneously in the second and third readings. The law enters into force on February 1 (if it is approved by the SovFed and signed by the president).
A detailed “debriefing” according to this law can be read on the Roskomsvoboda website:
rublacklist.net/6943 (basic law)
rublacklist.net/6978 (amendments and second reading)
And, as suggested, on nag.ru:
nag.ru/articles/article/24596/zakon-o-prokurorskih-blokirovkah.html
As far as I can tell, this law is extremely important for the IT sector in Russia, so I hope that I did not break the new rules of this hub.
