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.

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.
