The Internet freedom index is presented for May, and he surprisingly even showed insignificant growth: in many ways, the merit of public campaigns and lawyers of Roskomvoboda, who managed to defend the digital rights of users and site owners in the courts. The Society for the Protection of the Internet (OSI) published the results of May, according to which the Internet freedom index finally stopped falling and even “played” a little-its growth over the past month amounted to 0.4 points.

Experts generally welcome the bill of deputies of Shargunov and Zhuravlev, but note: all the same, he does not eliminate all the stiffness and absurdity of Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“excitement of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity”), and also has little chance of passing in the State Duma.

Against the new bill on extra-court blocking of Internet resources, public and journalistic organizations and even a number of deputies from the ruling party in the Verkhovna Rada have already been expressed. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will consider bill No.
