A court in the Russian city of St. Petersburg sentenced anti-war activist Olga Smirnova to six years in prison on August 30 on a charge of spreading fake news about the armed forces.

        Whoa. https://kotaku.com/minecraft-death-threat-4chan-pol-shooter-arrested-cops-1850241929

        Ok, standing corrected here although I feel death threats are not exactly the same thing as what happened in Russia.

      Internet posts?! This is why online discussions are ridiculously stupid. A classic argument over semantics about Internet posts, when so many people have been censored for speaking out against the government. Anybody that thinks the US is a bastion of freedom has bought into the propaganda. The idea that the US can critique anybody about this tickles me. Green my ass
