Everybody go on strike

A new surge of activity, after the adoption of the bill in the second and third
readings, took place on June 21. This time it gave a surge of only three times, that
is, three times weaker than when the bill passed the first reading - only 1130
mentions with a natural sharp drop in activity on the weekend of the 22-23.

On Monday, when employees of numerous offices went online after
a two-day break, the discussion flared up with renewed vigor. This was greatly
facilitated by a statement from Google, which spoke out against
the “anti-piracy” law. Nevertheless, compared to Friday, there was a drop
of one third, to 775 mentions, which continued on Tuesday, when the level
of discussion of the topic dropped event planner email database list another threefold. A slight increase in interest occurred on Wednesday,
June 26, when the law was approved by the Federation Council, but the number of daily
mentions only slightly exceeded 500 on Wednesday and was slightly under six
hundred on Thursday. By Sunday, June 30, interest had died down completely — 40 mentions per
day — a value typical for the time before the bill appeared.

And on the first of the month, the idea of ​​an Internet strike had already matured. It was discussed
rather sluggishly in RuNet, but then the wave intensified — 718 mentions in a day.
Not much compared to the surge on June 14 and very little compared
to the excitement that happened on July 3, when RuNet residents, quite
heated up by the Internet strike of some online libraries, learned that
Vladimir Putin had signed the much-talked-about law and that it would come into effect on August 1.
More than three thousand mentions per day is a solid indicator of thematic activity for RuNet . In addition to the strike and mass anxiety mixed with indignation, a petition for the repeal of the “anti-piracy” law came to
the forefront , created on June 4, but not widely covered before that (58 mentions for the whole of June and 528 in the first week of July).





However, as often happens with spontaneously emerging
news items, the next day there was a twofold
drop in interest in the topic, which was repeated on Friday, when the number of mentions
dropped to 793.

The weekend of July 6-7 showed a decline to the levels of two weeks ago
(270 and 282 mentions).

It would be logical to assume that Monday would bring some revival,
allowing — at the expense of office dwellers — to return such a pressing issue to its place
among the most discussed. There was an upswing, but it was insignificant. The reason
for it remained the topic of the petition for the repeal of the law, but
two more materials for discussion were added to it: an article in the newspaper "Tribuna",
which focused on the fact that the "anti-piracy" law would not affect
the former kings of counterfeiting, andinfographics we published, demonstrating
the mechanism of operation of Law No. 187-FZ.
