Russia’s internet law a ‘new level’ of censorship: RSF
(Worthy News) – A new law that went into effect in Russia on Friday takes “internet censorship in Russia to a new level,” press freedom advocacy group Reporters without Borders (RSF) says.
Under the new law, Russian authorities can theoretically isolate the country from parts of the global internet. The government says the law aims to keep the Russian network functioning smoothly in the event of a crisis or external attack. However, critics warn that the new rules will allow censorship of content that is unwanted by the Kremlin under the pretext of an undefined “security threat.”
Digital freedom activist groups such as RSF say the law will allow authorities to block content without telling the public what has been blocked and why. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
