Russia has significantly expanded laws and regulations
tightening control over internet infrastructure, online
content, and the privacy of communications.
Russian authorities and multinational companies have
erected a digital barricade between the country and the West,
erasing the last remnants of independent information online.
Freedom of information is freedom of a person or people to
publish and consume information. Access to information is
the ability for an individual to seek, receive and impart
information effectively.
Freedom of information is related to freedom of expression,
which can apply to any medium, be it oral, writing, print,
electronic, or through art forms. This means that the protection
of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content,
but also the means of expression
