| Message | Mr. Speaker, Whilst we do support government censorship of the Internet, we only implement censorship on the premises of children using the internet. The blacklist is to block sites that contain materials advocating drug abuse and production, suicide, and child pornography. Later, the law was amended to allow the blockage of sites containing materials that advocate extremism. So Major censorship of the internet in terms of this legislation, should only be the protection of Children from Elicit Material harmful to their well-being. Also, Now we do not agree that is should be forbidden to criticize the government, it sounds very radical. We feel that the population should be able to criticize the government because from criticism, we can learn from our mistakes and at times we can learn from the people. Freedom of the media must be instilled. Trigunia is not a dictatorship, we do not intend on suppressing the views of the citizens. We believe that in terms of article 2, the publication of false information should remain as is, that is it would be illegal to publish false information in order to bring instability, fear and inaccurate information to the public.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To continue on your review of this legislation. We believe that International media should not be censored. It gives Trigunia an image that the Government wants to push its own propaganda into the minds of the citizens. We believe that international media should be regulated using the same techniques used in domestic media content. By heavily censoring international media, it is saying that this party will not be able to respond to criticism, to respond to and at times, ignore propaganda. It would show the weakness of this party if they are to ever hold the chairs of governments. We are not a dictatorship where we are trying to brainwash our citizens with lies and fabrications. That is why this government is pushing for transparency in the media. Galina Ilyukhina Government Communications Spokesman Соединенные Трыгоня . |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
