Η Austrian Government, has filed draft law which will essentially require the user his real name and address to be allowed o annotation on websites.
Όwhat the Internet It has nothing to do with what it was 10 and 20 years ago, I think it is obvious to anyone who has the opportunity to live it from the beginning until today.
Perhaps that is why it is not surprising that governments are slowly trying to reverse one of its basic tenets, that of anonymity.
For China and in general for totalitarian or not so free regimes it is to be expected that they want to know as much as possible about each individual user, but it is true that we did not expect to see similar legislation from supposedly progressive countries.
Η Austrian Government, therefore, has submitted a draft law that will essentially require the user his real name and address to be allowed to comment on web pages. He will be able to continue using his nickname, but the authorities will be able to easily find out who is hiding behind the nickname in case the user abuses this "freedom" of expression to harass other users or break the laws.
Especially for companies-owners of large websites, a fine is provided €500.000 in case they do not collect the real names and addresses of the users, an amount that will be doubled if they are recurring. The law applies to websites with more than 100.000 registered users, but there will be exceptions for e-commerce platforms that do not make money from ads or the content they host.
If approved by the European Union, the bill will enter into force in 2020. A similar decision may be taken by the European Parliament for implementation in general in all European countries…
