Let's wait and see what Guardian will write if similar laws will be introduced in UK, US and other so-called democracies. Of course it will be in order to protect democracy from foreign interference, meddling Like the one that Facebook's subcontractor Cambridge Analytica did...

Bella2Gia Well there goes the Formula BOINC Sprint for RakeSearch in Russia this week.

so what? they cut off themselves. gladly. no more nonsense/hilarious stories about Russian influence, trolls lose jobs and so on. there are many methods of censorship in any country in the world. nobody/users concerned too much.

I would not be surprised to see a firewall in the US within ten years if Trump is re-elected and conservatives retain power.

Already happens in the west, the only difference being that it's under the guise of 'private companies'.

опять пропаганда?...а это что в россии компы такие?...на картинки?....отрезать и защитить -это разные вещи...вам не кажется?...

Censorship and repressive legislation are becoming stronger. Trying to create an analogue of the Chinese firewall.
