Russia proposes ban on online swearing

They swear they're not joking. A group of Russian leaders wants to ban the use of foul language on all of the country's social media platforms and online discussion boards, saying that sites that do not comply with the new regulation would be added to a national “blacklist.”
The existing "On the Protection of Children” law already is used to censor some forms of communication.
The English language Pravda site reports that State Duma Deputy Yelena Mizulina has put forth a proposal that would require swear words to be removed from a site within 24 hours — or else the site would be added to the country's blacklist.
