New regulations adopted by the State Duma impose fines of up to 5,000 rubles for those who search or view extremist content online. Critics, including some pro-government figures, say the law tightens censorship and could affect privacy, including the use of WhatsApp. The list of banned materials includes organizations such as Navalny's Anti-Corruption Fund and Meta platforms. The law targets users actively seeking extremist content, but it is unclear how their intent will be determined.
