Russia enacts 'draconian' law for bloggers and online media
If you get over 3,000 visits per day in Russia:
On the radio here they were saying that you will also be held responsible for comments made on your site (not sure what consequences involved) - I dont see this mentioned in the BBC article, but maybe that's covered by the "regulations that govern the country's larger media outlets".
^ This last bit ties in with Ren's recent post about the trial of Ross Ulbricht (the "Dread Pirate Roberts"):
Russia enacts 'draconian' law for bloggers and online media
If you get over 3,000 visits per day in Russia:
- you will have to register (you cannot remain anonymous)
- you must "conform to the regulations that govern the country's larger media outlets" (not sure what exactly they are)

tl;dr - This fight is about the transfer of intent, e.g. I post something potentially illegal on your site, then you get charged for it. Good discussion there though, and worth a listen.-Renegade (July 24, 2014, 09:58 AM)
After watching the video, I was getting self-conscious about my grammar - it's not my strong point, e.g. is it grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with 'after'? I have no idea (and it doesn't really bother me either way). I find a lot of it illogical: simply a case of someone dictating that this is correct, and this not. And we're not exactly somewhere formal that it might be considered necessary to write 'proper' like ;-)
