俄羅斯通過互聯網信息檢查法案
Russian lawmakers have approved a bill that gives the government the power to blacklist websites containing what officials consider objectionable material.
The State lower house of parliament, voted Wednesday on the measure, which proponents say is meant to protect young people from child pornography and information about suicide and drug use.
Lawmakers also passed a bill that makes libel criminal offenses with punishment of up to five years in prison.
Critics say the new legislation is designed to suppress information and stifle dissent.俄羅斯議會通過一項法案，授權政府將官員認爲含有不當內容的互聯網網站列入黑名單。
俄羅斯議會下院星期三表決通過了這項法案。該法案的支持者說，通過該法案是爲了使年輕人免受兒童色情以及與自殺和吸毒相關的信息的影響。
此外，俄羅斯議會還通過另一項法案，規定對誹謗罪處以最高爲五年的刑期。
批評人士說，通過這項法案的目的是控制信息和壓制不同政見。
