"Russia is tightening its grip on free speech and freedom of the Internet by creating a new 'bloggers law'. This policy follows the pattern set by China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran."
Any site with more than 3000 daily visitors will be required to register and be held to a number of restrictions, quoting the article: "Besides registering, bloggers can no longer remain anonymous online, and organizations that provide platforms for their work such as search engines, social networks and other forums must maintain computer records on Russian soil of everything posted over the previous six months."
Note: I cant see the full article due to the Paywall at NY Times. Alt links requested if found.
This, coupled with their No Swearing In Media (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?451389-Russia-bans-cussing-in-films-books-music), its almost like Russia is trying to catch up with the good ol' USA.
'murika!
