Russia may outlaw Internet porn, "extremism," anonymity, and more

http://j.mp/utarjY  (RiaNovosti)

   "Russia's League of Internet Security proposed on Wednesday creating a
    blacklist of websites containing child pornography and "other
    prohibited information" and oblige internet providers to block such
    sites.
    ...
    Another proposal regarding internet security has been put forward by
    senior Interior Ministry official Alexei Moshkov, who said anonymous
    accounts should be outlawed on social networks and online forums to
    prevent internet fraud, blackmailing and child abuse.  "If you are a
    just and law abiding person, why would you want to hide?" Moshkov, who
    heads the ministry's bureau in charge of technical services, said in
    an interview with the government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta. "There is
    no censorship on the internet," he said."
