Ksenzov explained to bloggers that they would not have to add themselves to the register immediately once the law came into force. Although in document and stated, that any blogger with a traffic of more than three thousand unique users is obliged to comply with the law on mass media, the deputy head of Roskomnadzor claims that the law does not force everyone who meets these criteria to register.

The law will be applied selectively
Ksenzov stressed several times that Roskomnadzor does not have the goal of organizing a comprehensive census of bloggers. According to him, the agency does not have the resources to monitor and enter all popular users into the registry.
"If you publish pictures of cats on your blog, speak only politely and do not disclose state secrets, this obligation may never come into effect - even if you have a million unique visits per day,"Ksenzov said in an interview with Lenta.ru.

"The law was not passed for you. No one needs you, no matter if you write about cats or Volodin's dachas, only three thousand people read you," said Ekho Moskvy editor-in-chief Alexey Venediktov. And German Klimenko suggested that Roskomnadzor would show how not to do things "on one typical blogger," probably meaning Alexey Navalny.
