On the surface, it’s all about protecting Russian kids from internet 
pedophiles. In reality, the Kremlin’s new “Single Register” of banned 
websites, which goes into effect today, will wind up blocking all kinds 
of online political speech. And, thanks to the spread of new 
internet-monitoring technologies, the Register could well become a tool 
for spying on millions of Russians.

A joint investigation by Agentura.Ru, CitizenLab and Privacy 
International.
