Summary: Leonid Levin, notable professor at Boston University, who themselves run a heavily-trafficked Tor exit node, attacks Tor and supports state control of information.
Leonid Levin: "we should pay attention" to the question about
English translation: pre-trial[?] blocking of anonymizers and ways to access anonymizing networks such as Tor.
The committee chair of the State Duma (parliament) on Information
Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, Leonid Levin, suggested to consider the question about limiting access to the Tor anonymizer internet-network. He said it during "Infoforum2015".
By his words, this restriction would allow not only limiting access
via anonymizing networks to information forbidden for distribution, but also would "extend the potential" for counteraction to the distribution of malicious programs. Besides, that would prevent illegal access to [hacking of?] computer information.
At the same time Levin believes that the system of information control
in the country "leaves much to be desired". He explains that "International tension, technologization and internalization of delinquency[?] make us put serious additional funds into military forces and law enforcement agencies. This is completely logical and justified, but for some reason the system of information control is [not in this series/not like this] yet."
Levin mentioned that while Roscomnadzor (Federal Service for
Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications) is successfully solving problems within its powers/limits, "it is obvious that it lacks people (staff units) and resources".

Summary: Denis Davydov, Executive Director of the "League of Safe Internet" attacks Tor and its use in leading 'political struggle'
#anonymizers #tor #leagueOfSafeInternet
In continuation of the theme of anonymizers
League of Safe Internet: "Anonymous networks are used primarily to commit crimes"
"We strongly support the idea of limiting Russia's access to anonymous networks, including Tor. "Invisible" Internet has made it possible for criminals of all stripes to hide their intentions from the state and use it to commit crimes: to acquire drugs and weapons, to distribute child
English translation: pornography, to trade in human beings, including sex slaves, and to lead a political struggle. Do not forget that Tor is an American development and is used as well by the US intelligence agencies to expand the hegemony of the United States all around the world: agents and collaborators of the US State Department are engaged in illegal activities against countries while remaining anonymous to the authorities of that country.
This is a very serious problem and it is bad that our government
distanced itself from it and does not deal with it.
I am convinced that the restriction on the use of anonymous networks
will have a positive impact on us in every sense, will increase the trust of users to the network [Internet], and people will use it more actively and openly. This will lead to a specific economic effect and benefit to the state,"- the Executive Director of the League of Safe Internet Denis Davydov.
