The Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus will combine lists of extremists and resources with extremist information, the Belarusian news agency BelTA reports, citing the Ambassador of the Republic to the Russian Federation Dmitry Krutoy. Government agencies of both countries want to create a common database of violators; the project has already been considered by the Russian and Belarusian Ministries of Internal Affairs,” the ambassador said.
According to Krutoy, citizens of the union states do not understand how to distinguish extremist materials that are prohibited on the territory of Russia from extremist materials that are prohibited on the territory of Belarus. Sometimes not all information from extremism registries may coincide, the ambassador emphasized.
Let us recall that on February 5, Roskomnadzor (RKN) announced the imminent closure of information about the requirements of the Prosecutor General’s Office for blocking certain network resources, as well as information about the reasons for the ban. Deleted content will become more difficult to find. In addition, operators will not be able to find out details about restrictions on the operation of certain sites, and users will no longer find explanations from departments regarding network bans.
Previously, the State Duma introduced restrictions on Internet resources that were created for the purpose of raising funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The new conditions for blocking allow the Prosecutor General of Russia or his deputies to directly ask the RKN to restrict access to a particular portal.
