| Feb 28 at 1:16 | comment | added | ccprog | The translation I get from DeepL has some significant differences from the description given by EN.WP of the content of 280³. I'd recommend citing the text directly in the question, since a comparison of legislation should be done with due precision. | |

| Feb 28 at 0:51 | comment | added | ccprog | My fault, the sites were reachable only as http, not https. No.31-FZ (look for number 11), No.32-FZ. | |

| Feb 28 at 0:33 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | @ccprog: ok, but I'm asking about 280 not 207. There are number of countries that have tried to pass laws against "fake news", but it would be a more complicated discussion. And actually somewhat easier to find on google reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1RE0XH Also, depending on the subject, 'fake news' can be plain old defamation, which is even more broadly legislated against. | |
| Feb 28 at 0:25 | comment | added | littleadv | As to laws forbidding calls for sanctions, here's one example - although this is a civil prohibition, not a criminal. | |
| Feb 28 at 0:24 | comment | added | ccprog | I am challenging the translation "unreliable information". According to wikipedia.ru, the text of changed article 207³ talks about заведомо ложной информации, which as far as I can say, would be fairly translated as "knowingly false information". Before a court the difference between those two things would be emminent. (It is true that the word дискредитацию, discreditation, is used in 280³.) | |
| Feb 28 at 0:22 | comment | added | littleadv | I do not think any European country has anything similar, except maybe Belarus, since the first clause basically forbids opposing policy decisions. | |
| Feb 28 at 0:20 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | @littleadv: that's the 2nd clause with 15 years sentence. I'm asking about the first one, which is 5 years for "discrediting"; that one is rather more broadly phrased. | |
| Feb 28 at 0:15 | comment | added | littleadv | The Russian laws are outlawing contradicting the government position. While the law says "unreliable information", the intention and interpretation is "contradicting the official position". The official position may or may not be the truth, but contradicting it is a crime. | |
| Feb 27 at 23:30 | comment | added | gnasher729 | I thought the Russian laws are against telling the truth about their “armed forces”? | |
