Russian lawmakers have suggested imposing a ban on the originator posts on the web.
In a recent development, Russia's State Duma has taken steps to limit access to content that undermines traditional values on the internet. The information policy committee has supported amendments that aim to achieve this goal.
One of the key proposals is the re-editing or using an audio signal to remove or mask profane content. However, it's important to note that the latest internet censorship laws introduced by the State Duma primarily focus on penalizing users for intentionally searching for or accessing content classified as "extremist."
The bill, introduced by Andrei Svinцов, aims to block content containing profanity on the internet. Under the proposed bill, authors of such content must remove or mask it before posting on digital platforms and social networks. These measures are part of a broader initiative to protect the cultural space.
Despite these efforts, no recent official law or credible source from the latest 2025 legislative updates explicitly addresses or introduces censorship or penalties related to profanity or obscene language on the internet by the State Duma. The emphasis remains on restricting dissent and extremist content rather than regulating vulgar or obscene language specifically.
