Russian Duma proposal to create internet censorship

[Anne Schumann]

Thank you, John, for the links. No need for exasperation, just opposing the mainstream opinion is so much more fun and, it seems, it improved the level of the discussion^^.
Another interesting aspect of this bill is that it does not even try to deal with copyright issues. In western Europe there was much controversy around ACTA, but for the Runet (where you can basically download everything you want) copyright does not seem to be an issue. Why?
As for the child pornography context, I remember reading an article, also in NG some time ago, about quite headless attempts to find and arrest alleged child abusers. My impression is that Russian government officials try to improve work on that topic, but obviously it is difficult in the Russian context.
