Ukraine Passes Internet Censorship Law
Reporters Without Borders is very concerned about a new law passed in Ukraine regarding internet censorship (Adoption of Decree on Online Registration Worrying).
To be allowed to appear, sites must not call for "a change of government through violence" or support "terrorism", not damage individuals' "honour", "dignity" or "reputation" and not post "swear words" or pornographic content. Reporters Without Borders said the language is however too vague to guarantee press freedom if it were to be applied to private websites.
Perhaps Ukraine could ask the
FCC for help; they're familiar with enforcing vague censorship standards.
