Blogs - a small media

Today Russian State Duma will approve (or not) in the third reading of the bill, proposed by the Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications. This document equate bloggers with three thousand readers to the media. Innovations proposed in it, called живейшее discussion in the blogosphere, because the responsibilities and penalties for non-compliance in the draft amendments to the law are listed, but the technical features of execution - no.

So, if the amendments to the Act will be taken, from the August 1, 2014-trehtysyachniki bloggers will have to not only register as media, but six months to store information about their users, check the published data, not to talk about private life, not to betray state secrets, not to campaign before the election, and not use foul language. All, as in conventional paper. Instead, freshly baked mini-media will be able to give in blogs paid advertisements.

For failure to comply with the law will punish bloggers: individuals pay a fine of 10 to 50 thousand rubles, and legal - up to 300 thousand. Violators or lose 500 thousand rubles, or suspend operation for 30 days.

Rigidity laws plus optionality execution h4> There is no statistics on how many bloggers trehtysyachnikov network. Opinions diverge. There are the obvious leaders of public opinion, for example, Tatyana Tolstaya with more than 60 thousand subscribers in facebook. It is, incidentally, already reproached readers that soon will be forced to stop swearing, lying and agitate, and all because their readers, it has too many. And so would have lived in peace.

But jokes aside, but as a "catch" popular bloggers is unclear. For example, in the days and peak hours (which are calculated for each social network), you can just post a cat to become media for a few minutes. Or write something incredibly relevant, and take off the top. And if it is a single event, should we register?

In addition, how to count visitors? Only living people and loyal readers, registered on the blog (as well as friends and subscribers in social networks), or bots, and casual visitors as well? It is known that in the top ten "Yandex" includes blogs from 14 000 to 160 000 readers. Top 10 Twitter accounts collected from 168 000 to 270 000 readers, Livejournal - between 13 000 and 30 800. But nobody counted how many blogs are read every day 3,000 people. In Facebook there are no such statistics - it only counts visiting groups.



Even if the owner of social networks and providers keep records of how to get them to share information with government agencies, and the disobedient to block? For instance, Pavel Durov has said that Russia's FSB did not give details of participants Euromaidan. According to him, the citizens of Ukraine do not fall under Russian jurisdiction. That is, in the world there are millions of people writing in Russian and registered in the Russian social networks, but the Russians are not. How to deal with them? The same Durov refused to block the account Navalny ...

Roskomnadzor seems to be to create two registry keys, one to include sites and web hosting providers that will store information about users. In the second - popular bloggers. But if the last - tens of thousands, how many man-hours will be spent on their "catch" and whether such resources? And is consistent facebook and twitter themselves to keep records of visits, or allow in your kitchen external auditors?

We wanted the best, as always happens h4> Most likely, even if the law is passed, bloggers and social network immediately begin to look for ways to circumvent it. Which, with the vagueness of language and the complexity of control, a lot.

For instance, bloggers will be recorded in the areas of "non-py." Unlock locked accounts with special programs. And instead of writing xxx "mudilo pea", as suggested by Tatyana Tolstoy. It is, incidentally, legally.
