Thousands march through Moscow for internet freedom as Russia cracks down ahead of election - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "With presidential elections due in just eight months, the Kremlin is playing catch-up, introducing a flurry of new laws designed to bring the online space under its control.
Draft legislation currently being pushed through parliament aims to force VPNs to block sites on a black list drawn up by the federal media watchdog, Roskomnadzor.
The new bill would outlaw VPN providers refusing to do so, and attempt to block them.
Another law, now being put in place, demands internet providers keep a six-month record of all sites visited by users, and that all metadata be saved for three years.
It also requires messenger services to provide their encryption keys to allow the authorities access to private communications." 'via Blog this'
