PR Banned

From the BBC:
"Court in Russia bans video clips of Pussy Riot online"

A Moscow court has ruled that websites must remove video clips of the Pussy Riot female punk band, two of whose members are in jail. The "punk prayer" has been viewed nearly 2.4m times on YouTube. In its ruling, the court called the clips "extremist". Websites that fail to remove the clips may be blocked. There were widespread international protests over the Pussy Riot trial. A representative of Google's Russian office said YouTube would not take any decision regarding the clips until it had received official documents, Russia's Interfax news agency reports.
Appeal doubts

^ Just when you think Russia can't move further into the Dark Ages things like this happen that help it move further to a repressive regime. You would think that Russians would be wise to al this as they went through 70 + years of the USSR and its censorship and dictatorship and yet the majority of Russians do very little when things like this happen that help bring the dark past closer to present-day. ^
