Nikolaev V.V. Restriction of Access to an Internet Resource as a Measure of the state Coercion

Abstract: Along with generally known types of legal responsibility (administrative, disciplinary, civil or criminal) for violations in the sphere of information protection (Article 17 of the Federal Law No. 149 of July 27, 2006 'On Information, Infomation Technologies and Information Protection'), it is also necessary to touch upon the problems that may arise when someone posts illegal infomation on the Internet. The current state of the web space demonstrates a wide distribution of illegal information. The aim of this study is to create a theoretical basis and prove the practical significance of extrajudicial blocking of websites that contain illegal information. In the process of writing this article the following research methods have been used: hermeneutical approach, systems approach, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative law method and other methods that are usually used in legal research. Due to the nature of the global web, certain difficulties arise in determining jurisdiction and as a consequence, offenders can avoid liability. The article presents the author's interpretation of information enforcement and considers the proboem of restricting access to Internet resources. The author analyzes the Unified Register of Prohibitted Domain Names and demonstrates the need to limit the spread of illegal content on the Internet.
