The list of countries monitored by freedom of speech advocates is also compiled: Australia (intends to launch a nationwide web filter system), Bahrain, Belarus, Zimbabwe, Yemen, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Eritrea, and South Korea (one from the most Internetized countries of the world).
Taking this opportunity, I am publishing the text of a joint declaration by the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and Reporters Without Borders for 2005.
1. Any law on the transmission of electronic information must be based on the right to freedom of expression, as defined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
2. In a democratic and open society, citizens decide for themselves what they would like to access and what to view on the Internet. Filtration or selection (ranking) of electronic content by governments is unacceptable. Filters should be installed only by users. Any filtering policy, whether at the national or local level, is contrary to the principle of free flow of information.
3. Any requirements for the registration of websites by government agencies are not acceptable. In contrast to the few broadcast frequencies, such a rich infrastructure as the Internet does not justify the official issuance of licenses. On the contrary, compulsory registration of electronic publications may impede the free exchange of ideas, opinions and information on the Internet.
4. The technical service provider shall not be responsible for the fact that it is the channel for transmitting or publishing content (content), unless the provider refuses to comply with the court decision. The decision on the legality or illegality of the site can be made only by the judge, and not by the provider. Such a procedure should guarantee transparency, accountability and the right to appeal.
5. All Internet content should be governed by the laws of the country of origin (“outgoing traffic rule”), and not by the laws of the country where it is loaded.
6. The Internet combines various types of media and also promotes the development of new publishing tools such as blogging. Individuals who publish their material on the Internet and e-journalists should be legally protected in accordance with the basic principle of the right to freedom of expression and related rights to privacy.

In the area of recent events ( ships on the "Pirate Bay" and amendments ) a number of questions arise: why is all this written?
