Russia Proposes Banning Foul Language On the Internet
eldavojohn writes "In a country where it's illegal to insult a government official, State Duma Deputy Yelena Mizulina has proposed an amendment to ban swearing on social networks, bulletin boards and all websites. The website would be blocked if the offending material had not been removed within 24 hours. The name of the law this would be added to? "On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development." Mizulina's title in regards to this legislation? Chairwoman of the Committee on Family, Women and Children (No joke!). Of course, Yelena Mizulina is no stranger to unwarranted censorship as she was behind the law banning gay propaganda to minors and invoked laws to try to silence critics on twitter. The article also notes, 'United Russia deputy Vitaly Milonov put forward a similar initiative on 25 July. He proposed to tighten control over social networks and allow people to dating sites through their passports.'"
In Soviet Russia, foul language bans you!
How is that not the present?
Be careful before joking on the Internet. In the US that is enough to send you to jail.
Go F**k Yourself. And, after that, Go s**k your own d**k
I think you might need to get some of the crap out of your keyboard. Your "U", "I" and "C" keys seem to be outputting asterisks for some reason.
- we just use bad words as ordinary speech (My russkie matom ne rugaemsya - my matom razgovarivaem).
And all this curse-banning circus has the only purpose that isn't exposed: To promote Internet filters that will be (and are) used for any purpose THEY like. No wonder that I2P NetDB contains more Russian nodes than any other country's.
Anonymous Cowards proclaiming their freedom to swear and not even daring to spell out "fuck" properly. Cunts.
News sites should quit doing this, Russia is a land mass and can not ban anything, the asshats in the State Duma otoh might come up with crap like this.
'USA thinks it should invade North Korea'
See how that works, propagandist news style that is 99% lie.

How would Russians communicate without cursing?
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
If you ban all curse words then people will simply invent new curse words and, most likely, words that you can't ban. Or words that if they ban them have hilarious side effects. Like, say, Putin.
Go putin yourself. You're such a putin. Your mother is such a putin.
