The Russian parliament has passed a new law making it illegal to search online for information or content deemed 'extremist' by the government, with violators facing fines. The law also targets VPN users and further restricts access to foreign messaging apps, as Russia moves to replace services like WhatsApp and Telegram with a state-approved alternative. The Ministry of Justice has published a list of over 500 banned pages, including content from protest groups like Pussy Riot. This legislation is part of a broader campaign to tighten state control over the internet and suppress dissent, following previous blocks on foreign websites and social media. Critics warn that the vague definition of 'extremist' content and harsh penalties will further erode free speech and digital privacy in Russia.
