Russia Poised to Restrict Net Activities

Posted by timothy on from the we-will-control-the-horizontal dept.

DigitalHammer writes: "The Russian Parliament is planning to place off- and online restrictions to curb pro-Nazi and anti-religious activities. Former Reds are afraid they will be labeled as extremists, while envirnomentalists and human rights groups complain that the proposed restrictions will halt free speech in communist-turned-democratic Russia. Deja vu, I see? News.com has the story."

    Russian porn isn't that good anyway.

    I don't know about you guys, but I don't think neo-nazis or anti-religious (any religion) people deserve any rights. It's hate speach, it spreads a bad message to children, and it is especially damaging to a country already in turmoil.

    It would be nice if the united states put more effort into restricting hate sites online.

    Anyone crazy enough to vacation in Russia isn't going to be phased by this.
