Russia cracks down on Putin ‘gay clown’ memes in war on ‘internet extremism’ | The Independent

'But gay Putin memes have proliferated as Russia has cracked down on both sexual liberties and online speech in recent years. '

'A year later, the paper reported, Putin signed a law imposing prison sentences for people who give so much as thumbs-up to a forbidden online post. '

'In 2015, Russian authorities began shutting down websites of Putin critics, and restricting nearly all anonymous blogs, The Washington Post reported. '

'Russia passed its first “Internet extremism” laws in 2013, according to the Moscow Times — a year after Putin returned to the presidency and began restricting civil rights. ', "Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share."
