Европарламент борется с терроризмом в интернетах:

The new 23-page document (PDF) includes many disturbing provisions, some of which are labeled as “recommendations,” and others as “to be discussed.” Many of those in the latter category are questionable at best, and at worst are ridiculous and likely verge on illegal. They include:

• “Knowingly providing hyperlinks on websites to terrorist content must be defined by law as illegal just like the terrorist content itself”
• “Governments must disseminate lists of illegal, terrorist websites”
• “The Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 (art 1.2) should be explained that providing Internet services is included in providing economics instruments to Al Qaeda (and other terrorist persons and organisations designated by the EU) and therefore an illegal act”
• “On Voice over IP services it must be possible to flag users for terrorist activity.”
• “Internet companies must allow only real, common names.”
• “Social media companies must allow only real pictures of users.”
• “At the European level a browser or operating system based reporting button must be developed.”
• “Governments will start drafting legislation that will make offering... a system [to monitor Internet activity] to Internet users obligatory for browser or operating systems...as a condition of selling their products in this country or the European Union.”
