Or sites that promote gay rights and non-Christian beliefs, right? Because Putin hates non-Christians and homosexuals.

No, sites promoting extremism, terrorism and suicides are blocked in Russia.

The problem is that "blocking sites promoting extremism and terrorism" can also hit sites which aren't that bad as long as Putin and his mates don't want people to get the view of others promoted on these sites. I mean, when exactly is it considered as too extreme? How different can the opinions promoted be to what Putin considers as the correct one?

Sites like LinkedIn are also blocked (even if some reasons for the block are even understandable if it comes to protection of personal information). SHould be still an option for people who have no problem with how Linkedin uses the data to use LinkedIn. Russia isn't the daddy of those people who want to use it.
