During the TV program “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” on the TV channel “Russia 1”, State Duma deputy Maria Butina proposed to jail parents who did not prevent their children from installing a VPN.
Butina voiced such a proposal in response to Solovyov’s words that blocking YouTube will not force children to read books and they will install a VPN. Subsequently, the deputy said that her words were taken out of context.
Some other politicians, including Andrei Klishas and Alexander Khinshtein, subsequently stated that there were no plans to hold Russians accountable for using VPNs.
