Interior Ministry awarded the Internet regulatory bill
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has initiated a bill that increases the responsibility of site owners for the posted information. According to some of its provisions, providers will not be allowed to anonymously enter into contracts for the provision of communication services. Site owners will have to register under real names, indicating their real address - all according to the documents, as is customary in the offline business. This was reported to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” by Deputy Interior Minister Andrei Novikov, who explained that such measures are being taken in order to combat cybercrime.
In addition, the contract between the provider and the client will be a mandatory clause, which provides for the immediate termination of the contract unilaterally. In order for the item to "work", law enforcement agencies will need a reasoned written decision. In the meantime, blocking "harmful" sites occurs on a call, without documentary reasons.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that the Internet should be regulated as a mass medium, but it is stipulated that there is no censorship. “The legislation has long determined what information can be published in the media, which is not,” said the interlocutors of Rossiyskaya Gazeta from the ministry. “Nobody forbids citizens to sharply criticize any representative of the government, to express their critical opinion on topical issues.” But, according to them, there are a number of specific things for which responsibility is assumed under the articles of the Criminal Code.

The listed initiatives have already been submitted to the State Duma Security Committee. In addition, the issue of joint fight against cybercrime was raised at the international level. It is known that during the G8 Summer Summit, the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor’s Office agreed with their foreign colleagues on cooperation, within which national contact points will be set up in 45 countries. Police officers at any time of the day through this point can transfer operational information to the country - for example, about the appearance of a terrorist website directed against Russia.
