Russia's parliament has passed a new law that punishes individuals for searching online for content deemed 'extremist' by the government, including via VPNs. The law introduces fines for accessing a broad and vaguely defined list of banned materials, which now includes works by protest groups like Pussy Riot. This move is part of a broader campaign to tighten internet censorship, restrict VPN usage, and replace foreign messaging apps with state-approved alternatives. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian authorities have increasingly blocked websites and social media, aiming to control the flow of information. Critics warn that these measures represent a significant escalation in the repression of free speech and digital privacy in Russia.
