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) |
Linkedin isn't blocked. Just tried it. We have strict rules on propaganda of nazism and fashism. For example, mein kampf is prohibited in Russia. So if a site puts it for downloading it will be blocked. If a site owner not agrees he can go to court. And if blocking was wrong, it will be opened again. Nothing too serious really, as usual mass media made too much noise from nothing.
