“Russia is set to severely limit online payment systems and oblige websites including the likes of Google and Facebook to store information on users and share it with security services. Any website that allows users to post comments will be required to inform the authorities about it and store logs for six months, according to lawmakers behind the proposal. The logs, which will also have to be kept by Internet service providers, will have to be accessible to security services, Andrei Lugovoi of the nationalist LDPR party said. The rules will also apply to websites that are based abroad but operate in Russia, Gazeta.ru news website reported.”
