Russia Has Outlawed Many Internet Memes

[Roadtrip635]

Russia’s three-year-old media agency/Internet censor Roskomnadzor, which made it illegal to publish any Internet meme that depicts a public figure in a way that has nothing to do with his “personality.”

Those laws now ban, per Roskomnadzor’s announcement, memes that picture public figures in a way that “has no relation to [their] personality,” parody accounts and parody Web sites. If a public figure believes such a site or meme has been made about him, the announcement continues, he can report them to the Roskomnadzor, which — in addition to overseeing Russia’s Internet censorship program — can file claims in court. Web sites are essentially given the choice of blocking the offending content in Russia, or seeing their whole sites get blocked across the country.

I did find the Putin comment about negotiations with a certain world leader not be named.
That is was like playing chess with a pigeon, "you get him in check and he just knocks all the pieces over and struts around like he won the game"
Lol

That's a variation of a saying I heard a while back.

"Arguing on the internet is like playing chess with a chicken. No matter how good you are at chess he's just going to **** on the board, knock over all the pieces and strut around like he won something."

Well this will be hilarious when the russian hackers put memes all over the government websites.
