Dear Märt,<br>
<br>
IMHO any such Internet Blocklist will only lead to one result:
Internet fragmentation.<br>
Therefore, to be avoided.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>

Today there was a Internet blocklist proposal among others signed
by ISOC Canada chapter chair Timothy Denton but also Estonian
member of European Parliament Marina Kaljurand.

This is essentially proposing bottom-up Spamhaus type of
blocklists/rating system to be imposed by any party involved in
routing or "essentially all large operators globally", but first
of all, fighting spam is not the same as fighting propaganda or
imposing economic sanctions.
<br>
<br>
Since ISOC Estonia was already preparing a statement on Internet
blocking in relation Russian invasion of Ukraine (based on Andrew
Sullivan's blog post from last week), we probably also have to
comment on this.
<br>
<br>
My main question about the proposal might be who will be
responsible for keeping this blocklist and will this mechanism be
dissolved after the invasion has ended? Currently I think there
are no good answers for neither of the questions, but maybe I'm
wrong?
<br>
<br>
Estonia is one of the close neighbors to Russia and there are many
reasons for people to be willing do something about it all. But
essentially everyone from Internet and digital rights circles has
warned about quickly inventing new mechanisms of censorship for
the Internet.
<br>
<br>
Any comments?
