The President signed a law on blocking websites with "defamatory information"
On April 23, 2018, President Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law “On Amendments to the Federal Law“ On Enforcement Proceedings ”and Article 15 1 of the Federal Law“ On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection ”( text ).
The law makes two minor edits to the two laws. These edits "increase the level of enforcement of executive documents containing requirements for the removal from the Internet of information discrediting the honor, dignity or business reputation of a citizen or business reputation of a legal entity."
The requirement to remove defamatory information from the Internet is contained in Article 152 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to this article, any citizen or legal entity may request to remove information and publish a refutation of defamatory information. In case of refusal of the defendant to execute the decision of the court, a fine may be imposed on him.
However, the existing judicial practice has shown that some sites do not delete information and do not pay fines. Now, if the infringing site has not deleted the information after the deadline set for the voluntary execution of the requirement contained in the executive document, the bailiff makes a decision to block the resource - and sends it to Roskomnadzor. After that, blocking occurs within one working day.

The law was introduced to the State Duma on April 2, 2018 by a group of deputies of the United Russia faction. Adopted by the State Duma on April 12 and approved by the Federation Council on April 18, 2018.
“The adoption of the draft law will contribute to the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of persons whose honor, dignity and good name have suffered damage as a result of the dissemination of false information that does not correspond to reality,” the authors of the draft law say.
Federal law enters into force on the date of publication, that is, from April 23, 2018.
