Free press group: .ua takeover may aid gov't oppression online

[Chris Chiu]

Reporters Sans Frontieres has expressed "alarm" over efforts by the government of Ukraine to take control over the country's top-level domain. In a statement, RSF's secretary-general Robert Menard suggested that the Ukrainian government's "bid to take over management of the national domain name '.ua', currently in the hands of the private firm Hostmaster, and its proposal that parliament legalise e-mail monitoring, will allow it to effectively gag online activity."
