Internet censorship law took effect in Russia -

In November 2012, Russia adopted a law allowing the Government to establish a blacklist of view sites that might pose a danger to children mostly. The Russian government can decide to block access to certain websites for all citizens, from the moment when it is considered that the site offers content that poses a risk to the safety of children or people who can be easily impressionable. Target sites are those dealing with suicide issues or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts for their health and lives of others.

Facebook and Twitter have followed the rules in recent weeks, as the deleted content to any display information about the different ways to commit suicide.

But this law creates problems for Google and its YouTube service, which has brought an action against the law last February after YouTube was blocked due to the release of a video showing a girl how to do makeup claim to have made a suicide attempt.
