The law-in-draft submitted by State Service of Communication proposed to restrict access to Internet resources, disseminate information, recognized untrue by the court. This measure is extreme. It is expected that it will be used in case of failure to identify the owner of the site, as well as default during the day the applicant's claims about the removal of inaccurate information.

Without disputing the legitimacy of the norms of the Civil Code, on protection of honor, dignity and business reputation of citizens, parliamentarians insist on taking into account the right to free access to information. Moreover, the mechanism is not clear technical initiatives embodiment, if the marked information has been not only on a particular site, but also on other replicated. The Committee specialists insist that the jurisprudence does not allow them to automatically block and litigation will be endless.
