- nmbr213 9y agoEvery time Gosduma passes some law restricting citizen's freedom for the sake of security we have morons bleating "Don't worry, guys, the strictness of Russian laws is compensated by the optionality of compliance". Yet in the past few years we had hundreds of people jailed and/or fined for the content they posted on social media or even for reposts and likes. Yet the morons do not learn. Can't wait for Yarovaya's law to come in full effect.
