The Center for Protection of Digital Rights - Assistance in the Control of Civil Rights and Unlock Sites
At the time of writing this material, 329,281 sites were blocked in Russia. The Center for Protection of Digital Rights offers Internet users, site owners, journalists and bloggers tools and recommendations for the legal protection of their rights in the administrative and judicial proceedings.
The service makes it possible to form applications when illegal blocking of sites and send them to the court.
If access to the site was limited by any of the methods provided for by law and information about the site was added to one of the existingregisters of prohibited sites, the service proposes to indicate the domain name or IP address of the site, with the blocking of which you do not agree, after which detailed information about the blocked resource will be received automatically.
Next, the user needs to indicate all his personal data, after which the application will be generated to the court.
Using the instructions of the service or using the help of lawyers , an application for illegal blocking of the site must be sent to the court.
If the IP address does not coincide with the domain name of the site specified in the registry, this means that the site is blocked "at the same time".
In this case, it is proposed to take advantage of the help of lawyers and appeal the application of excessive legal measures leading to violation of your rights or the rights of any third parties.
It is important to know that today the right to close the site is given to five authorities that block more than fifteen grounds fixed in laws.
At the same time, resources that do not carry any unlawful information often fall into the “black lists”. This can happen by legal illiteracy, due to errors, abuse of powers or the conscious desire of the authorities to limit access to a particular information.
