Russia requires bloggers and Telegram channel owners with more than 10,000 subscribers to register with Roskomnadzor

Putin signed a law on August 8 that requires website bloggers and owners of Telegram channels with at least 10,000 subscribers to register with Roskomnadzor in a timely manner. The document stipulates that bloggers who do not report their specific audience to Roskomnadzor cannot place advertisements and solicit donations, and other channels cannot forward their publications. The law also places a limit on the number of SIM cards that can be sold to one person. Foreigners can have up to 10 SIM cards, and Russian citizens can have up to 20.
