Russia to act against fake news (no, really)

Russia's parliament has passed two bills outlawing "disrespect" of authorities and the spreading of what the government deems to be "fake news".

The first ban refers to "blatant disrespect" of the state, its officials and Russian society. The second bill prohibits sharing "false information of public interest, shared under the guise of fake news".

Both new crimes carry heavy fines.
