Russia's parliament has passed a new law making it illegal to search for online content deemed 'extremist' by the government, including specific videos and materials such as those by Pussy Riot. The law imposes fines on individuals who search for or access such content, even when using VPNs, and expands the state's ability to monitor and restrict internet activity. This move is part of a broader campaign to tighten control over the internet, block foreign websites, and limit the use of messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram in favor of domestic alternatives. Critics warn that the vague definition of 'extremist' content and the crackdown on VPNs will further erode free speech and digital privacy in Russia. The law is set to take effect in 2025, marking a significant escalation in Russia's efforts to suppress dissent and control information online.
