Topic: Russia Just Made A Ton Of Memes Illegal - page 2. (Read 2114 times)
Definitely "give that man a cookie", there are plenty of funny memes about putin, i really think this will not change anything in the way people use memes, the internet is big...
It surprises me they would do this. Seems like it just set's a target for trolls.
Not trolls know Memes bug them enough to outlaw some. I predict it causes much more use from trolls and other like that.

So much wasted potential.
Wasted potential is represented by the people who unconditionally believe any shit.I know that it's not funny but I can't stop laugh. It seems that I'm going to die of laughter while reading this thread. Already tried these steps without any success.
Rusia is a beautiful country with a lot of good people, too bad their leaders have been nutjobs all the way thought history. So much wasted potential. This meme thing sounds straight out of april fools. Now they'll need TOR to even make some stupid paint jokes, just wow.
It is quite sad that your country is pushing ridiculous laws like this.
There is no such law. It's just a moronic comment by the RKN's representative... No more, no less. Of course it's sad that there are fools on such positions, but shit happens.Don't you think it is just something straight out of book "1984" by George Orwell?
Actually, I think this article is just something straight out of book "1984" by George Orwell. Oceania's (USG == wannabe Inner Party of Oceania) ministry of truth is pushing the propaganda against its competitors. Lack of facts? No problem! Just invent some shit and claim that someone famous said it. Don't forget to add that he has some power to make it real and that's it. You're done. 
What do you think russian government forbid next
These guys (Maxim Ksenzov with his subordinates) have nothing to do with the government. Roskomnadzor is just an executive body, it follows the existing law and has no power to initiate legislation or the right to "prohibit" something.
Read my previous message again, please, and stop pushing the BS.

So I can do anything and they can't stop me directly. The only thing what they can do is ask me to delete the picture. Of course I'll say them "get the fuck out of me" and then they'll initiate a lawsuit on this case. And this lawsuit will end with a failure, because no judge will take it seriously.

What do you think russian government forbid next, because if they outlawed memes already I feel that they could now do anything... and soon you may not be so happy about it.

In other news, Putin put a bounty on grumpy cats head.
This country is becoming another USSR after Puttin‘s back, And they will still call Russia a free and democratic country.
In post-Soviet Russia, you don’t make memes. Memes make (or unmake?) you.
That is, at least, the only conclusion we can draw from an announcement made this week by 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.”
Sad Keanu? Nope.
Sad Putin? Absolutely not.
“These ways of using [celebrities’ images] violate the laws governing personal data and harm the honor, dignity and business of public figures,” reads the policy announcement from Roskomnadzor.
