    Last year Russia passed a law giving the government powers to control and blacklist certain websites that it deemed to be harmful to children Outgoing FCC chairman Julius Genachowski has said the legislation signals "a troubling and dangerous direction" for the internet in Russia, and speaking to the Times, journalist Anton Nosik called the laws "absurd, harmful, and absolutely unnecessary" - while playing down the likelihood of a broader enforcement across the web. The government, for its part, argues that the bill was designed to protect children from harm by blocking pages on drugs, suicide, or child pornography.

  • 'Snooper's charter' bill becomes law, extending UK state surveillance
  • The new surveillance law requires web and phone companies to store everyone’s web browsing histories for 12 months and give the police, security services and official agencies unprecedented access to the data.
  • “The government is clear that, at a time of heightened security threat, it is essential our law enforcement and security and intelligence services have the power they need to keep people safe. The internet presents new opportunities for terrorists and we must ensure we have the capabilities to confront this challenge. But it is also right that these powers are subject to strict safeguards and rigorous oversight.”

  • Дело в гуманизации безопасности. И в воплощении в политике идеи, что мир состоит прежде всего из людей, а не из государств.
  • Российское государство ни в какой из своих инкарнаций не было чемпионом защиты индивидуальной безопасности и формирования среды.
  • Мы уже недалеки от признания, что индивидуальная и национальная безопасность исключают друг друга.

  • Нежелание заниматься развитием инструментов для вложения денег, изъятие накопительной части пенсии и нынешнее обесценение рубля — все это подтверждение того, что государство в лучшем случае не справилось с обеспечением безопасности сбережений и инвестиций граждан.
  • Переключение внимания общества на внешних врагов — почти неизбежное следствие провала создания внутри России достойной среды человеческих отношений.
  • Содержание большинства телепрограмм российского ТВ — это не страх перед внешними врагами, а концентрированный страх общества и власти друг перед другом.
  • Готовность к дурному исходу, к человеческим и экономическим утратам — не мистика и не фантазия. Это и не просто национальное свойство, замечаемое иностранцами и прочитываемое даже в российских лицах, а выражение незащищенности. То, что за тобой могут прийти; то, что могут отнять все, что ты делал и берег, — не болезнь, а правда жизни.

  • companies will be able to order the scanning of suspected copyright infringements and also target Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
  • “If you are an entity and feel you have IP rights and are the subject of piracy, what the law allows you to do is to start collecting suspected Internet addresses.  At the point when you have enough evidence you can then approach the court to get the ISP to reveal their identity
  • Once the entity has that address it’s up to them whether they want to bring a copyright case to the court or write to the person behind the website

  • “It is still an open question whether the rights holders will be able to use the legislation as a tool against copyright infringements that employ different technology, such as cloud-based storage and sharing of infringing material.

  • “As high-speed internet capacity has become normal and often included in mobile subscriptions, illegal download and use of music has decreased,”
  • “The new legislation is in my opinion not sufficiently technology neutral, as it is clearly designed to serve as a tool to prevent P2P file sharing and not, for example, illegal streaming services, which may become a problem in the years to come.”
