Vladimir Putin signs Internet-censorship bill

Under one bill, individuals can face fines and jail time if they publish material online that shows a "clear disrespect for society, the state, the official state symbols of the Russian Federation, the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and bodies exercising state power."

Insults against Putin himself can be punished under the law, The Moscow Times reports. Punishments can be as high as 300,000 rubles ($4,700) and 15 days in jail.

A second bill subjects sites publishing "unreliable socially significant information" to fines as high as 1.5 million rubles ($23,000).

"Russia has not historically had major constraints on Internet freedom," analyst Matthew Rojansky told the Post. "The Internet has thus been one realm in which full diversity of opinion and free expression, even on the most sensitive political topics, were generally permitted."

Now, however, the Russian government has "essentially unconstrained authority to determine that any speech is unacceptable. One consequence may be to make it nearly impossible for individuals or groups to call for public protest activity against any action taken by the state."

The Russian government has steadily tightened its grip over the Russian Internet, The Moscow Times notes. "Tougher Internet laws introduced over the past five years require search engines to delete some search results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services, and social networks to store users' personal data on servers within the country."

Based Putin right? You guys would be in tears if an American leader did this

This is unironically what Trump should do as well. Places like CNN need to be seized by the military and everyone inside promptly executed. MSNBC, ABC, all these degenerate liberal news media outlets need to be absolutely destroyed.

You are a dumb faggot if you disagree.

Russian internet is the wild west, you can find literally anything on there including CP and sex slaves without even going on Tor, just through a quick yandex search

Russian cops are ultimate boomers who still use typewriters and have no idea how VPNs work (they tried banning all VPNs lmao)

Chances of this law being enforceable is 0%

You can't be that stupid. Does the extent of your ability to think into the future limit at less than a few years?
