Extract from the “news.net” article:A new scandal involving a blogger - one of the banks of Rostov-on-Don, sued the author of Live Journal Sergey Reznik, known by the nickname Otto_Cazz. (http://otto-cazz.livejournal.com/)
Reznik in his LiveJournal wrote that the bank is on the verge of bankruptcy. According to the management of a financial organization, these words are not reality, they discredit the name of the bank and can seriously aggravate its financial situation. The materials of this case are now being considered by the prosecutor's office, while representatives of the bank refuse to comment on the situation.
Recall that in October of this year, a similar case started in Latvia, where one of the female forum attendees had the imprudence to state online her doubts about the stability of one of the country's banks. In her words, the bank also saw a threat to its image. The trial is still ongoing and seems to be not in favor of the respondent.

Over the past year, dozens of criminal cases have been initiated on the basis of entries in online diaries. Charges against bloggers ranged from terrorism to illegal campaigning. Every day, blogs seem to be less and less viewed as personal magazines and more and more as an element of the media.

Push:For me, the Internet has always been a tool for free expression, communication, provision and receipt of information. Once again, I repeat Free! We ourselves know that the information obtained from the “depths” of the network is not always reliable, but we do not complain about it. But never, she never carried a criminal offense.
What has changed !? Much has changed and this much will continue to change. And change is not for the better. Control! This is what is happening now and this is exactly what the authorities of many countries are now striving for. To control the tool of free data exchange, to control us. At one time, the Internet was not undervalued by government agencies in many countries, now they are trying to fix it!
I am interested in your opinions and your reasoning about this! For the Internet was built and developed only at the expense of ordinary users who tried (and are trying) to change it for the better.
