Natalya Kaspersky - Opinion On Internet Restrictions

Opinion On Internet Restrictions

In July, 2012, Natalia Kaspersky publicly weighed-in on legislation pending in Russia's lower parliament that would create an "Internet Blacklist" of banned sites similar to the Great Firewall of China. Despite unanimous condemnation from human rights groups, internet freedom advocates, and Wikipedia, Natalia Kaspersky went on record supporting this law, claiming that "some new restrictions" were necessary in order to protect children and that concerns about censorship were exaggerated.
