Moscow (AFP) – Russian lawmakers advanced a bill on Tuesday that would fine internet users who search online for web pages, books, artworks or music albums that authorities have deemed "extremist" -- a move critics have called a dangerous attack on freedom.

some examples of thoughts i'd anticipate russia labeling as extremist:

  • trans people are real and exist in every community
  • same sex couples don't want to overthrow the state, inherently, they just want to exist and any at large desire to overthrow the state is a result of the state not allowing them to exist
  • Ukrainians have their own cultural identity and language, and it's fine for them to exist as their own independent entity
  • Siberians have their own cultural identity and language, and it's fine if they want to protect and preserve that
  • reeducation camps to russify and then adopt out children is a tactic employed exclusively by genociders and is wrong to do

Anything related to LGBT+ is already "extremist" in their laws, so yeah
