Russia's "right to be forgotten" internet bill is here! -

President Putin has signed-off on Russia "right to be forgotten" internet bill.

last year, the European Court of Justice adopted a "right to be forgotten" internet bill that allows anyone living in Europe the right to request links from search results (which can be embarrassing) be removed. Only the links to the articles are deleted, the content is online. Google says more than 1 million URLs have been checked for removal requests with 282.407, which is 41.3 percent deleted URL.

EU "right to be forgotten 'Internet Bill has received much attention, most reviews privacy advocates branding it yet another form of online censorship.

now, President Putin has put pen and agreed to Russia "the right to be forgotten" internet bill. Well, there is a surprise

President Putin - censor the Internet, and deleting history

Although new internet bill Russia is very similar to its European counterpart, there is a notable difference. "The EU's right to be forgotten" online bill prohibits public figure heads to request links to be removed, while Russia allows anyone, including public figures chiefs to request the removal of links.

I suspect that President Putin has already presented its Peccadillo of being removed from public documents, but, as with other Russian politicians and anyone in the public eye means that, for example, voters who may want to search online to learn more about them, perhaps a scandal or other less desirable information may have to dig a lot harder to find. or do not find it at all.

larger online search engine in Russia, Yandex, Russia fears the "right to be forgotten" online bill "ignores the right to seek information" indicating Reuters that "this bill prevents people from accessing the important and reliable information, or makes it impossible to obtain such information. "

a supporter of the Russian draft internet law, Leonid Levin said it" will create an efficient tool to repress blackmail and bullying on the Internet. "

Yes, of course that is why the draft internet law. Do not hide information or stifle anyone who dares to criticize the Russian government.

Russia has tightened the grip on freedom of expression of the Russians and the right to information for some time now. Earlier in the year - memes of famous people, including President Putin, have been banned and a law called "Bloggers Law" was enacted in August 2014, requiring any blogger with over 300 page visits to register with the authorities

[

law is effective January 1, 2016.

a group of Russian Internet activists have shown their contempt for the new law on the Internet by creating a website Web, displaying a search window without results and the phrase "2018: Nothing found There are no more internet.."

I think that says it all!
