"BTW they are only opposing to article 13 because Putin asked them to do so" I am really curious why Putin would care about that? How this law affects Russia?



FWIW, at least in the US, Russia has been seen promoting both sides of conflicts that get people riled up politically online. The goal may not be "to support Article 13", but "cause discord and strife regarding Article 13".


Putin is doing a really bad job, nobody cares.


He was pretty successful with the Brexit, though.


Easy: they are winning the information warfare and don't want to be stopped.

Fake news and propaganda are one obvious target of article 13.
