Law

[nhara]

Don't know why is it so much fuzz about this law... It come in force and works from September 2012. Was there any bad changes in LJ? Make adult lock or friend-lock on your posts and it will good I suppose. This law don't concentrate on homosexualism. There is no law in Russia against gays, except one city. But it don't work in other one. It just should to put age lock on information, to delete sexual video, sites of pedophiles, violence. There were many public cases in Russia rape and after killing of children younger then 10 y.o. Or another situation schoolgirls made video where they was beating classmate and put it on YouTube. Is it bad to delete such information?

What is the most disturbing that foreign media take just few words from mouth and don't give whole situation. And of course all others countries starts to think about Russians as monsters without freedom of speech or else...

I don't tell that this law is all good, it has bad sides also, but they mostly touch only users in Russia inside.

Yea, the media never tells the whole truth, and than rumors starts to spread, and new rumors start forming and etc etc etc. It is annoying when the media censor important information like this. And everything has it's pros and cons ^^ These types of things are everywhere, I mean over here where I am, we have all that u have, I honestly don't think it's easy to get everything under control, but at least Russia is doing something about the situation. It's just the current hot topic going on at the moment, N. Americans or people in general always have to have some country or people to pick on. Like how the US is always trying to force China take on human rights and all that stuff. I remember when the Olympics were held in China, everyone was picking on us about how bad our place was and dissing us...
Each country has their own way of doing things, but people just need to be busy bodies.

In Russia there was the same fuzz also... So government made specifications. Now people more tolerant.

Fun to tell there really absurd interpretations of it. They put age-lock on child's anime movies, which resemble 'Tom and Jerry', because they saw there violence.

Yah... There are always should be somebody bad...

I think people just hate to see this kind of thing anywhere -- home country or elsewhere. They react to it where they feel like they can have an impact.

As far as this and LJ, I don't think there is much to worry about from my end here in the U.S., and you're a better judge of how things are for you. But I can tell you that I seriously don't think anyone around here would judge all Russians based on this. I certainly wouldn't like to be judged based on actions from my country's politicians. It's not like we don't have crazy nutjobs trying to limit human rights in my country too.

Don't worry about anyone thinking badly of you. *hugs*

Thanks! *hugs* Well I don't really think anything like all people have only one thought -Russian are bad people. But discussion I've read was like fire... Spread so fast... Wow... Bad rumors always in priority...

yes, taken out of context rumors affect other people badly. Just remember that most of us are not there to know what the real truth is, so you are doing a good thing by enlightening us as someone who is actually there who knows why and how these things come into effect. Besides, in this case, it's an LJ related issue (and russian politics will always get some of the blame because from what outsiders understand, they try to stifle freedom of speech a lot (remember the hackers that tried to destroy LJ platform?) and there have been cases of LJ staff commenting on user's LOCKED entries without repercussions. What would they do if they were ordered to provide information on a user's journal for political/security reasons? Understand that frustration borne from these things are not singular, but a combination of all the DIFFERENT problems people have encountered with LJ over the years since Mark sold it.

A little paranoia is justified where LJ is concerned because of LJ's own actions, but defend your country if you must because I would definitely defend mine.

I agree, and fully understand everybody's worry. It is normal reaction. The first reaction in Russia was the same, even if we're more tolerant to this law now, but interpretation sometimes takes unexpected way. At beginning government talked about denying accesses of Russian IP to unacceptable resources. And I agree that all users should be warned.

I was impressed of a speed, cause really like fire.

And it's pity that Media sometimes don't give full information.

the speed is natural, trust me xDD That's just how it goes with information, particularly on the internet.

Yah... I know... But still impressed! :) why good news don't spread as fast as bad one...

because people will be people, unfortunately.
