Law enforcement agencies will not be able to independently close sites.

[Гудимов Анатолий Геннадиевич]

The obligation to disconnect sites should arise for operators only by court order - such an amendment to the law “On Communications” was introduced to the Duma by deputy communist Andrei Tychinin, owner of the Fora-capital investment company. Now the law obliges operators to turn off sites also “on the basis of a reasoned decision <...> of one of the leaders of the agency conducting operational-search activities or ensuring the security of the Russian Federation”, in cases established by law. This contradicts the presumption of innocence provided for by the Constitution, the explanatory note says.

Cases of website closure after appeal from law enforcement agencies in Russia are not uncommon. For example, in February 2010, the largest Russian domain registrar Ru-Center suspended the delegation of the torrents.ru domain, which hosted the largest torrent tracker in Russia. This was a reaction to the decision of the investigation department of the Chertanovsky department of the Moscow prosecutor’s office, which revealed on torrents.ru links to pirated copies of 1C and Autodesk programs. The site immediately moved to a new address outside of RuNet - rutracker.org, where it still works: violation of the laws by its owners for two years has not been proved in court.

And in 2012, the Domain Registrar company ceased delegation of the rylkov-fond.ru domain, which was used by the Andrei Rylkov Foundation, which sharply criticized Russia's anti-drug policy. According to the Agora interregional human rights association, the reason for the closure was a letter from the Moscow Office of the Federal Drug Control Agency (FSKN), which accused the fund of promoting drug use. “At the request of the Federal Drug Control Service, you can close any website that it finds objectionable to her, for example Wikipedia,” said Ivan Varentsov, a fund spokesman.

The adoption of the amendments would make life easier for registrars, but the industry as a whole needs a mechanism to quickly shut down some sites - those that damage the country's security, said Alexander Panov, managing partner at Hosting Community. Therefore, he doubts that the amendments will pass: the opposite trend is concern for Internet security.

Thank you Anatoly!
"The obligation to disconnect sites should arise for operators only by court order - such an amendment to the law" On Communications "was introduced to the Duma by Communist Deputy Andrei Tychinin ..." - and rightly so, because it is still a property too!
