One of the new "laws" passed yesterday in Ukraine:
The decision to limit a user’s access to the Internet …is made based on
expert opinion, reckoning the information provided by a certain online
source is contrary to the law… reads the Draft Law #3879.
Under the Draft Law, the authorities have the right to oblige Internet
providers to limit their subscribers’ access to the Internet sources,
which disseminate information contrary to the adopted law, or to online
news agencies lacking state registration. Providers’ failure to comply
with the new rules will result in them being fined (200-400 tax-exempted
minimums).
In addition, telecommunications operators and
Internet service providers will be required at their own expense to
procure and install equipment for “investigative operations”, maintain
such equipment and facilitate said “operations” when ordered. Special
licensing for providers is also required by the law-to-be.
