Russia's parliament has passed a new law making it illegal to search for online content deemed 'extremist' by the government, with violators facing fines. The legislation also targets VPN users and those who advertise VPN services, further tightening state control over internet access and privacy. The definition of 'extremist' content is broad and includes specific works such as Pussy Riot videos, with over 500 pages listed by the Ministry of Justice. This move is part of a broader campaign by Russian authorities to restrict free speech, block foreign websites, and replace popular messaging apps with state-approved alternatives. Critics warn that these measures represent a significant escalation in internet censorship and repression of dissent.
