Stavka on the site
Another attempt to regulate the Internet is proposed by the Senator from the Kirov region Oleg Kazakovtsev. This was reported by Izvestia .
He prepared a bill "On the creation of sites and posting information on them." According to the document, it is proposed to create a state register of site owners, and Roskomnadzor is defined as a responsible authority for maintaining this registry. Registration of the owners of Internet sites will be paid at the proposal of the legislator-a member of the Council considers it necessary to charge a state duty from each owner of 1 thousand rubles. "
Today, several million sites are registered in the RU zone. The sites are different. From the site of Vasya Pupkina, where there is only one entry "Hello, peace!", To complex portals. In the legislation, there are all the necessary means to control and identify the content of sites and portals. But lawmakers can not calm down anyway. Again I remembered the wonderful phrase of Chernomyrdin - "if it scratches, then scratch in another place." It seems to me that they have a desire to swell the ranks of officials, so that citizens about and without a reason be beaten in front of officials.
It seems that the initiator does not know that each domain (in his understanding of the site) is already registered for a specific person or organization, that registrars have all this data and are available to the vast majority through the Whois service. There are already structures that track and analyze the content of sites.
I could give a lot of examples and situations that speak of the absurdity of the sentence. But even if they introduce such registration, then absolutely nothing will change, except that in fact, citizens will be taxed with a new tax. And given the Russian ingenuity, quite a few sites will simply be moved to foreign zones.
