Regulation of social media in Russia

As of January 2021, Russian officials estimated that there were 99 million social media users in Russia, in other words, 67.8 % of the total population. Given that social media have become one of the main forums for critical public debate in Russia, it's important to examine how the government has responded with legislation in order to counteract “imposed patterns of behaviour” (according to Putin's Presidential Decree of 2017). The European Audiovisual Observatory's latest publication: Regulation of social media in Russia proposes to do just that.
