hypocrisy at its finest

Fake news should be illegal everywhere in the west. It's criminal to call yourselves the news while lying and misleading people, and taking profits for it! List yourselves as entertainment or do your due diligence. Be like WikiLeaks. msm

cestlaviv What happens if the state is a mafia ? It means it’s fordidden to insult the mafia.

Wow india needs this badly .

wikileaks 'The_State' is either a condition, or a place, or a fiction! !!!(*!^&^*(**(*)$!(+*$ (Stuff that in your Putin.)

wikileaks Hey Reuters.. are you catering an audience that are kindergarten goers? There's only one Putin in the entire world.

Tired of Fake News? Here is your chance to do something about it.

There he goes giving realDonaldTrump new ideas

I find it extremely suspect that trump just mentioned doing this to SNL. Me thinks he may have been talking to his pal Putty!

Ironically the Dems and their tech titan cohorts have similar goals.

In Russia, writing the truth can get ya killed.

FakeNews shirts

Surprise it took him that long. nofucksgiven

Banning 'fake news?' Then why do they still have state-run news organizations/channels?

Wait, can't those two things be in opposition?

wikileaks “Russians call Putin a ‘thief’?!” Ask a Russian.

wikileaks that's what happens in a socialist country.

There goes CNN and Rueters

MiddleAmericaMS And of course the only true new is news he approves of. Hmm, sounds very very familiar.

When a world leader calls the free media fake news and the enemy of the people, you know we’re in for dark times. That’s how every cruel, ruthless, and mad dictatorships start.

wikileaks Trump will be next!

Similar laws exist is the PRC. Singapore has also had similar laws when LKY was in power. In the case of Singapore it worked really well and led to their prosperity. I don’t agree with it though.

Let me guess... there is a death penalty?

Trump, the Russian asset, would love to do the same.

so viglent he is perfect

wikileaks Does that include his own fake news or just everybody else’s fake news?

wikileaks Did you know court was held on Jan. 19, 2004? We Need an Attorney That can WIN!. Federal Judge Ashley C. Royals failed to Observe Public Law. This is a violations of 5 U.S.C. 6103, H.R. 15951, 80 Stat. 515 sendavidperdue justices 4 MLK LilTunechi

Any chance Trump's not gonna jump on board this train? Considering his crazed obsession with 'FAKE NEWS' and late night comedy, I'd be shocked if he doesn't attempt to do this here as well.

That's Trumps buddy two of a kind MOB BOSSES WANT TO RUN THE WORLD WE NEED TO STAND UP AND GET THEM OUT OF OFFICE

wikileaks And how different is this law from laws in the West such as: islamophobia laws, misgendering laws, hate crime law for bad jokes etc. all of the above can get you a criminal record. So may be look in the mirror first before criticizing others

Thumbs up.

How long before trump tries to do the same?

Why don’t we do the same

wikileaks I wonder if Julian Assange can be prosecuted for violating laws of a foreign country, then what will be stopping Putin from doing the same.

USA, this is your future.

He's scared

Thank god. It's about time...

老成陈佩斯了

All dictators like Putin and erdogan are so scared of public criticism that they try to ban under the name of 'insult'. So pathetic dicto-bros.

I think this should just about cover it ?

Ha ha he’s sponsors it abroad but kills journalists in his country who speak the truth... then bans fake news

So no bbc

It's what called dictatorship!!!

one more wannabe macron 😒

wikileaks '...Could create a mechanism for state censorship,...' It sounds exactly what social platforms are doing to consumers in the USA being the state police especially silincing conservatives or those who opposed to their political agenda.

ТЕПЕРЬ ИДИ ВЕШАТЬСЯ

Es perfecto. Ellos definen lo que es un ataque al estado y ellos adaptan la ley a su antojo. ¿También aplicarán la ley a cualquier internauta que no sea ruso? Si fuera así, ¿cómo lo harán?

wikileaks I wonder if he is plagued by American trolls?

wikileaks PUNISHMENT

wikileaks Idiot.

wikileaks 1984

Really courageous move...Well done President Putin

wikileaks Soviet news outlets Pravda and Izvestia, meant 'the truth' and 'the news'respectively - giving us the cold war era joke: There's no truth in the news and no news in the truth'

What happens if they arrest you to spread 'fake news' that are actually real informations contradicting their propaganda and then you prove it in court? Are they then incriminating themselves or are the judges implied to be corrupt in that system?

wikileaks

wikileaks So, no more American mainstream media then?

In other words, censorship still rules in Russkie Land.

he took 1 sunburn in the face 😅😂🌞 Russia Sun Putin lol

Egy jól működő rendszerben,államban ilyen és hasonló megtorló intézkedések nem a gyakorlat tárgya.

reportpemra pid_gov why govt cannot make this in Pakistan

In other news, 'Putin is a good, wholesome guy. We should all trust him and welcome him with open arms.' Whoops, I think I may have broken a Russian law just now.

wikileaks He chose a time when the West was ramping that up knowing they can’t criticize him now.

You mean.... The fake news hysteria was abused? Imagine my shock

Trump to Follow... ENEMY OFTHEPEOPLE!! BAN THE FAKENEWS !! QAnon

All Russians yearn for true news coverage, opportunities to earn a decent living without the 'extra pay' to keep them under control and for a pension from which you can live and afford to buy your grandchildren presents.

Even children know much more: Russia is an agressor and Putin - huilo.

wikileaks 😂

The fake news emanate from Kremlin & Putin.But by banning fake news in reality they will ban the truth that the society uploads thro social media.A draconian law will be enforced & activists, youth, lawyers who stand up for human rights will be jailed in the name of fake news

Donnie is sooo jealous!

Thanks Putin...

So fragile

This dude should grow a beard, mustache or something.

Dirty chekist arrogance. Russia itself is grand source of fake news 🤣🤟

KremlinRussia_E Dear Mr. Putin. Does this mean you will put an end to the offices in your country that are specialized in spreading troll postings on international social media or is it only related to your own country?

Hey AOC you want to take from ppl I’m certain ComradePutin will give you advance lessons in controlling the media so you can push your agenda

🙄 happyhippeechik KrisandBugachi

There you go dictator number one of the world.

Lol...this is saying something in itself 🙄...

Is he going to shutdown all state run TV channels?

cnn FoxNews realDonaldTrump SpeakerPelosi SenateDems SenateGOP msnbc Trump/GOP Must Do Same Here. Anyone Pushing Fake News, Sowing Seeds of Discord, Spreading Hate & Defaming Others Should Face Prosecution & Arrest!

This explains Trump's tweet storm this weekend...he wants the same life as his mentor.

Weak, old, white, greedy, short-sighted men running the world. 🤢

5 minutes before he's condemned as authoritatian by western leaders, who govern over countries with the same laws already in place.

Buy $SYN and spread the word!

This should be blocked at the mainframe before its even made its way online for people to see

Mmm. You can almost taste the Diet Authoritarianism over here in the States via his mentally challenged proxy.
