Operators and providers - members of InAU, yesterday, November 14, called on the experts of the Council of Europe to help "counter fraud practice substitution of concepts in the law on cybersecurity".

This is reported by InternetUA with reference to InAU.

The dissatisfaction of operators and providers provoked legislative initiatives, where "the essence of the proposed bill is the opposite of its declared purpose and name, when the dictatorial and anti-market essence is used as an attractive and" transitory "name".

We are talking about three documents - the draft law on the implementation of the Convention on Cybercrime, the government bill No. 7275 and the already adopted law "On State Support of Cinematography in Ukraine".

In the law on state support of cinematography in Ukraine, according to providers, media groups lobbied the excessive duties of data centers on pre-trial blocking of content:.

- The US Trade Mission's Special Report 301 2017 notes concerns that in this law some duties are too ambiguous and difficult to facilitate and effectively respond to Internet piracy, - believe in InAU.

The draft law on the implementation of the Convention on Cybercrime, noted during yesterday's meeting, "representatives of law enforcement agencies plan to add blocking of Internet content by providers, which is not covered in the Convention".

The government bill No. 7275, which InternetUA wrote yesterday, in the opinion of providers, despite the declared opposition to the groundless seizure by bodies of pre-trial investigation of computer equipment from business entities, actually abolishes even those mechanisms to counteract the withdrawal of servers that are in operation today. The bill also "creates a corrupt mechanism when law enforcers will decide, delete servers, or copy information from them".

Separately, the Internet Association announced its own position on the blocking of Internet content. It consists in the fact that technically the blocking and deletion of Internet content is possible only if such a requirement is met by the owner of the site or the data center where this content is located, because the correct blocking of Internet content by access providers is technically impossible. The very same blocking of content, according to operators and providers, should be carried out only by a court decision, and in the case of a foreign jurisdiction of the owner of a website or data center - using international legal mechanisms.
