This happend within a couple of hours of Trump calling him. Coincidence? But what a load, russia is heading even further into the shithole.
"Russian President Vladimir Putin has
signed a new law which will allow the punishment of individuals and online media for spreading what Russia calls "fake news" and information which "disrespects" the state.
The new rules allow prosecutors to direct complaints about material considered insulting to Russian officials to the government, which can then block websites publishing the information. Publications that repeatedly spread
"unreliable"information which undermines social order, may face fines of up to $23,000, and repeat offenders could spend time in jail, according to
The Washington Post.
The laws will target online information that presents "clear disrespect for society, government, state symbols, the constitution and government institutions.""
