Putin has signed new laws that will decimate online anonymity by denying access to online services pending state-approved user ID checks.

      Don’t be, as Torrentfreak is not reliable source. Screenshot of the law on their site is about measures, similar to GPDR in Europe.

      Law about external auth services is talking only about all these login buttons like login with Google, with Apple, or Facebook.

      It is not required to use service (it’s Russian e-government service, pretty useful). There are still several options (yes, there is VK com, Russian “Facebook”). And it does not explicitly forbids plain old account creation with an email.

        There are looots of reasons to feel bad for people living in Russia.

        For one, having a genocidal psychopathic dictator.

        For another, having only one flex: being capable of starting a nuclear holocaust that wipes out humanity.

        Russia isn’t bringing anything to the world except discord, war, corruption, and death. Russia is a net negative to the human species.

              Privyet Babushka. Horosho.

        Russian-language independent media says otherwise. Websites like VK and RuTube will now require Russian Email addresses like yandex and mail-dot-ru.

    What a nightmare. Not sure how the Russian people get out from under this. I’m still pretty scared about the chances of similar laws in the US.
