How are things going with Roskomnadzor in the West?

Question

Computer networks

For a year and a half, topics about "tightening the screws" on the Internet by the government of the Russian Federation have been appearing on Habré.
If you take the development of the country (USA, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, France, Switzerland and the like), then how are they doing with this?
Is everything much more liberal? Hmm ..
Everything is much tougher and more controlled? Then what are the questions?
Or is everything tougher, but more correct, and in the Russian Federation control is implemented illiterately?
I myself am from Ukr, but I think to get out of here and I don’t know where, the activity is tied to the Internet.

Answer 1

There are no blacklists as such. They can only close individual sites (through a domain ban after a court decision) for standard problems with the law - DP, propaganda of terrorism, copyright. It's just that sites objectionable to governments are not closed, or are closed very rarely. The list of violations is more specific, more predictable getting problems. That is, the site will not be closed for the phrase Herkel Mui, unlike in Russia, where it is much easier to get blacklisted for similar phrases.

Answer 2

Everything is very simple there. There is a site that violates the law, the site is closed (through a hoster, through domain partitioning, or something else). If a site violates EU laws, but was created by a resident of legislation in which there is no such law (and is hosted where there is no such law) - c'est la vie, there are no borders on the Internet.
Nothing is blocked anywhere on a forced basis.
There are voluntary-compulsory (in the sense that they are enabled by default for all new users) filters for individual providers in individual countries (in the UK, for example, this topic is actively procrastinated), but all providers are required to provide the user with a button "yes, yes, I have a strong psyche, I want to watch pornography, I won’t let children in here.”
Our country has taken the path of totalitarian states, where those in power can do everything and they will get nothing for it. Well, total surveillance of all is not far off.

Answer 3

Well, where we do not

Answer 4

The United States put pressure on Wikileaks and the providers who tried to host it. There was a violation of state secrets and military secrets, so the same Amazon refused to host them.
The Scandinavian authorities, as far as we know, have been trying to shut down The Pirate Bay for a year now, either kicked out of the .se domain, or tried to prosecute for distribution. Some Russian torrent trackers have changed domains to distribute .torrent files, saying "not us, we just link to them, but they are already doing something there."
There is a Russian-language 2-ch, which also sometimes migrates from domain to domain. There, it seems, not all authorities agree that such a little thing happens in their national domain.
Demonoid, having moved to servers in Ukraine, said that he had closed access to the site from Ukrainian IPs so that the Ukrainian authorities would not have claims.
Some companies in Germany deliberately distribute torrent files with illegal content, catch those who download by IP and offer either an agreement or a large fine through the court. Some German hosters block the entire server for 1 file for which the complaint was received.
