Recent Links also in Eastern & Central Europe
The Russian Coordination Center for the new national Cyrillic domain .RF stopped the application process for new domains. Anti-cybersquatting measures turned out to be infective and the center plans to review the rules of submission process, Russian news agency Prime-Tass reported [RUS]. It's not clear what will happen to the registered domains. Some sources claim that all previously approved domains will be deleted.
A new law “On Ensuring Access to Information about Activities of Government Bodies and Municipal Authorities” [RUS] will require, among other things, creating public Internet terminals all around Russia. But netizens question [RUS] the feasibility of the law.

I don’t normally do charity work or make contributions, more due to a busy schedule than a lack of inclination. But having not only read about the emergent sex slave trade, but having visited Eastern Europe and talked to people there, I’d like to help by providing emotional support to freed victims of this trade. I’m afraid that I have only a beginner’s knowledge of Russian, but I should be able to translate Russian and Ukrainian-language letters, with help from native-speakers if necessary. Basically I’d like to convince victims that life despite these atrocities is worth living, because not all men are like the traffickers or their clientele, and not all people are indifferent to their anguish. World society seems to in a downward spiral of nihilistic sexual violence, and I want to help counteract this. Spasiba.
