State agencies refuse to assiste Pinsk resident in struggle against Internet offenders
The Information
Ministry rejected the request of the Pinsk dweller Mikalai Klimovich
to bring proceedings on the facts of the spread of false information
on local websites on his behalf.
Blogger Mikalai Klimovich
tried to draw attention to the so-called "Internet trolls "
who organize provocations and place insulting and false information
on the Internet on his behalf. However, the ministry advised him to
apply to the local police, who are not going to look for the
offenders. The administrators of the local websites don't pay any
reaction to his applications either. The Pinsk resident is surprised
with such attitude on the part of the government agencies that are
evading their responsibilities concerning Internet activities, as if
someone calls to violence on behalf of Mr. Klimovich, he will likely
have to bear the responsibility for such actions, despite his having
no relation to such messages.
