Auszug aus EGMR - 59663/17

- Was the decision-making process leading to the interference fair and such as to afford due respect to the interests safeguarded to the individual by the Convention (see, as a recent authority, Karácsony and Others v. Hungary [GC], nos. 42461/13 and 44357/13, § 133, ECHR 2016)? In particular, did the domestic authorities - and in particular the courts that performed the judicial review of the blocking measures - recognise that the cases involved a conflict between the right to freedom of expression and other legitimate interests and perform a balancing exercise, that is did they apply the "necessity in a democratic society" and "proportionality" tests, as required by the Plenary Supreme Court of Russia in its ruling no. 21 of 27 June 2013 (in particular, paragraphs 5 and 8)? As regards the blocking of access to the applicant's VKontakte account, did the executive authorities and the courts consider the collateral effect that a blocking decision may have on the material which has not been found to be illegal?.
