I wonder if Kaspersky’s idea of introducing online passports will ever be implemented? She, of course, is not new and has been in the air for many, many years. So what's the deal? Probably, in the fear that the process of strengthening control, like any spontaneous uncontrollable phenomenon, will overlap all possible facets and over time will become something more than just an attempt to defend against unprincipled, but at the same time utter senility.
The possibility of control is very tempting, but unpredictable. After all, no one can guarantee that the very next Internet police, “slightly exceeding their authority,” will unreasonably and suddenly not accuse you of political incorrectness, for example. In the meantime, the Declaration of the freedom of communication on the Internet, adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe member states on May 28, 2003, is guarding your virtual independence. More specifically, its seventh principle, according to which "in order to protect the Internet from control and expand the free expression of ideas and information, Member States must respect the desire of Internet users not to reveal their identity."
The same seventh principle contains the following: “This does not prevent Member States from taking measures and cooperating to identify those guilty of criminal acts in accordance with national legislation, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and other international agreements between law enforcement agencies and justice authorities. " In this case, we are talking about criminal acts against the honor and dignity of the individual (and this is spelled out in 129 and 130 articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Oh-pa! Who is to blame? - those who want to “freely express an idea” or those who after such “willing” should diligently launder themselves?
And what to do now? Close your eyes to insults on blogs (bearing in mind that “he who calls names, he himself is called,” and passports are fake) or is it possible to treat virtual rudeness with a whip?
