Ukraine Decides Against Forcing All Websites To Register
from the smart-move... dept
Apparently, the government in Ukraine came to its senses and realized that it probably wasn't a very good idea to require all "electronic information resources" to register with the government. If it had gone through, it sounds like all online news sources would need to register -- though, it's not clear exactly how an online news source is distinguished from someone just posting stuff on their own site. Still, as the article notes, this was a good move, even if it's a little scary that the idea was a proposed in the first place.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
