Oh look, misleading information about Russia! How rare!
First, the incident the article is referring to is a lawsuit between the guy Sutkin, represented by Roskomnadzor, and Lurkmore. Basically, he sued them for defamation (unsure if this is the correct legal term). This is a common practice in many countries, America included.
There is no law stating that these images are forbidden. It is just that a person may sue somebody for defaming them on the Internet. (Edit for clarification: I think it's a stupid common practice, but that's beside the point) For that, the person has to apply to Roscomnadzor, and after a lengthy period of blabbing, the site administration may be pressured to remove the material in question. Roscomnadzor itself isn't going to do shit unless somebody applies to them, and even then it requires an actual plaintiff to do anything. That is common practice everywhere, I think, but I may be wrong.
The article itself has two sources. One about the case itself (in Russian) and one linking to another similar article in another American newspaper. I haven't been able to find the citation for the corollary it claims exists, and googling it or looking it up on the Roskomnadzor site brings up nothing.
Behold, another fine example of journalistic integrity. But people want to read this kinda stuff, don't they?

>_< but people can sue for anything.

Just because someone sued it doesn't mean Russia banned memes...

My point exactly.
"Russia bans memes!" sounds snappy af though, and let's face it, you expect to hear stuff like this about Russia.

[Neonivek]

Really? But the only thing I know about Russia and its legal aspects is that
1) It tends to favor censorship of gore but less so on sex (unless I am mixing it up)
2) It has a few odd aspects in its Copyright laws that might have been patched
3) It is legal to carry a Rocket Launcher... But that was probably a movie.

You can say what you want about Russia, but at least they're not UKIP

In the brave fight of Merkel vs. Freedom, only one can win.

From what I've seen of England's politics, UKIP is on the sensible end of the spectrum.

[TD1]

One of us.... one of us.... one of us....

[GiglameshDespair]

Basically, everyone is terrible, but UKIP is racist as well.

The other parties are a bunch of rich, snobby eton lads who wouldn't know the needs or experiences of the people if they were slapped in the face with them.
UKIP does, it just blames the EU and immigrants for all the problems. But leaving the EU to solve the problem is sinking your ship to kill the cook.

Merkelelel is best waifu muh yuropzone


Right, I'm done shitposting about Yurop. Take it to Europol thread if a srs biz debate is to take place. `Time for some fuck the what:

Queen Mary University knows how to put the ‘fresh’ into freshers. As part of a welcome to new Drama students, their lecturer screened a graphic video of her (ahem) vagina, an act described by the show’s creator Lauren Barri-Holstein as “feminist performance art concerned with the female body.” Students who stayed through the entire show were given examples of their lecturer inserting a knife handle into her vagina and throwing tomatoes at the blade. There was a birth sequence that involved a plastic Bambi figurine and a condom blowing out of her vagina – all to a background of Happy by Leona Lewis and Poison by Nicole Scherzinger.

Perhaps its a product of the internet warping my psyche that my only reaction now is 'lol,' a bemused, but entirely laughless amusement.

But by god this web format is eye bleeding. Sfw, just weird.
