Internet Control in Question: Russia=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s law could be precedent for Armenia

The draft bill on making amendments to the Law "On Information" adopted at the State Duma of Russia last week will enable limiting access to Internet content without judicial procedures.

The supporters of the draft amendments believe that it will be possible to control materials of pornographic content, propaganda of narcotics, etc.

Those who are against the draft bill believe that it will result in censorship, because the control will be done by companies authorized by the government.

Such websites as the Russian version of Wikipedia and Life Journal bloggers' service are among the opponents of the draft bill.

The Armenian 'Internet Society' NGO is also against the draft law and hopes that Armenia will not copy Russia.
