It is pointed out that the adoption of the law would lead to censorship because the Ministry of Justice could regulate cyberspace. 

The law also provides for a ban on online downloads of movies, series, and music through foreign sites, which is now possible in America.

Therefore, if, for example, Warner Bros. found that a foreign site had an illegal copy of a new movie, it would ask the court to search sites, such as Google, remove the link to that site and suspend advertising for that site. site.
