In Russia and the territories it controls in Ukraine, individuals with Russian passports or permanent residency face legal risks for engaging with certain types of content online. Sharing, liking, commenting, or saving such content may lead to fines or imprisonment, highlighting a crackdown on free expression and a growing digital surveillance state.
The warning indicates that interacting with content considered unfavorable by the authorities can have severe consequences. This environment creates a chilling effect on individuals who might otherwise wish to engage with different viewpoints, thereby stifling open discourse and freedom of expression.
