Miroliuba Benatova: Kalin Stoyanov imposes censorship in the media  - 1

The Ministry of Interior took down a site full of journalistic content, without no explanation. The fact that Minister Stoyanov calls the site fake does not yet have the power of expertise.

For it to be a fake, it must be a copy of something else that already exists and is claimed to be an original. You know how it is with perfumes.

This recalls on "Facebook" Miroliuba Benatova.

This is a dangerous precedent for censorship. The question is fundamental. Until there are clear criteria and evidence of violation of laws, content should not be taken down.

At the discretion of the Ministry of the Interior. By eye. Because of one person's anger.

Offensive and defamatory material, in which there is neither joke nor truth, is freely distributed by anonymous mushroom sites that multiply the content of the Weeknd (for example). and nothing can stop them. Perhaps a court decision, but that too quite controversial.

And since yesterday it is crystal clear that the services stop and go when Peevski pushes their button. And yes, Kalin Stoyanov is right that there is enormous political pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Huge. As much as the ego of a Delian.
