Russia’s parliament passed a law Friday that criminalizes “fake” news — and carries a prison sentence of up to 15 years — for journalists who contradict the country’s official statements about the Ukraine invasion, according to officials and reports.

Under the law, which is set to go into effect Saturday, journalists face the potential whopping jail sentence for intentionally spreading “false” information — including using such words as “war” and “invasion” to describe the Russian attack.

Journalists also must verify their reports on the war with official Russian government sources.

Czech Republic' and another eastern Europe country already put people in prison if someone post pro-Russian stuff on social media platform.

The sentence is 3-15 years.

A lot people on this board will be in jail if you live in Czech.

Considering most of us here could be declared "Domestic Terrorist", by our own DHS, I consider 15 years for the lying "journalists" in Russia to be light in comparison.

Watching the MSM pundits freaking out about Russian misinformation laws while backing US companies enforcing misinformation policies and deplatforming of offenders is nauseating.
