The person mentioned as receiving a fine in the article (Vladimir Luzgin) wasn't fined for pointing out factual errors in a movie; but for something else (more akin to "slandering the national character", in reference to a blogpost he forwarded). Meanwhile in the U.S. you can very well be sued into submission and silence if your opponent is sufficiently deep-pocketed. Not exactly congruent to top-down repression of unruly bloggers as happens occasionally in Russia. But still, we in the U.S. aren't always as free to "tell truth to power" as we might like to think we are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_publ...
