Breitbart: Putin Criminalizes Online Searches for ‘Extremist’ Content
Russian President Vladimir Putin has enacted a law criminalizing the search for "extremist" content online, imposing fines for violations. This legislation has raised concerns even among censors, as it could hinder their ability to identify and report such content, potentially putting law enforcement at risk.
Critics warn that the vague definition of "extremism" may allow the government to target dissent and criticism of the regime, with significant implications for internet freedom. The law also places new burdens on internet providers to monitor user activity, coinciding with another bill banning advertising for VPN services, commonly used to bypass state censorship.
