AP: Putin declares the Internet to be a "CIA Project"
(Salon/AP): http://www.salon.com/2014/04/24/russias_putin_calls_the_internet_a_cia_project/
"President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called the Internet a CIA project
and made comments about Russia's biggest search engine Yandex, sending
the company's shares plummeting. The Kremlin has been anxious to
exert greater control over the Internet, which opposition activists --
barred from national television -- have used to promote their ideas and
organize protests. Russia's parliament this week passed a law
requiring social media websites to keep their servers in Russia and
save all information about their users for at least half a year. Also,
businessmen close to Putin now control Russia's leading social media
network, VKontakte."
