| Message | Not only are those articles contradictory but Article 1 is a disgusting infringement of privacy rights. |

| Message | Sorry to hear you disagree with our proposal. Article 1 is not a violation of anyone's privacy, but we believe it's essential to limit access to things like anti-Beluzian propaganda, content that can radicalize our youth and things like pornography and beastiality that has a detrimental effect on the moral character of the people. In our opinion, the previous legislation didn't go far enough in this regard. In regards to articles 2 and 3, we think it's extremely important that the state doesn't try to overstep it's.jurisdiction. In the case of infrastructure like the power grid and internet service providers, these services should be placed in the private sector as soon as possible in the interests of costs and efficiency. |
