It's ironic that russian social media sites are nowadays like pillars of free speech compared to Reddit and other Western social media. You know you fucked up as democracy when even shithole autocracies don't persecute wrongthink as hard as you do.

In Russia you are officially fined for critiquing authorities and "Russian social media sites" will censor you just as happily as Reddit. May be even more so because "freedom of speech" concept isn't a big thing there (as in they don't have Constitution-thumpers everywhere). At least in USA government and mainstream media are at odds right now.

Yeh i don't think he said what he meant.
I mean he couldn't have said anything more untrue. The media is literally spewing leftist or government media propaganda.
Even FNC which the tools glorify as a bastion of "right wing" or "conservative" talking points, are essentially controlled opposition. Most of their talking points and mouthpiece opinions are far to the left of where Obama was years ago.

First case
General stats - basically a hundred of cases, $22000 of fines total in a span of year.
Enjoy!
