TFR offers to block extremist websites extrajudicial
The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) Alexander Bastrykin proposes to introduce an extrajudicial procedure for the blocking of extremist materials on the Internet and they are made in the appropriate register.
About this initiative, Mr. Bastrykin said in an interview to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”. According to the Chairman of the TFR, it will help stop the spread of “various kinds of extremist manifestations.”
“If owners of such information do not consider it extremist, then they have the opportunity to appeal against the relevant actions of the authorized government agencies to court”, — said Alexander Bastrykin. He added that the initiative will also enable a more rapid response to the propaganda of extremism on the Internet.
In the beginning of the month Roskomnadzor at the request of the Prosecutor General’s office has blocked a number of websites promoting the idea of national and religious hatred. Among them — “Russian sector”, “Right view”, “Sputnik and pogrom” and other resources. The administration of “Sputnik and pogrom,” stated that “there is nothing unexpected” in the near future the resource will move to the new address.
