    If Putin has his way.

    (Reuters) - Russia's upper house of parliament approved a law on Tuesday that will impose stricter rules on bloggers and is seen by critics as an attempt by President Vladimir Putin to stifle dissent on the Internet.

    Most here will say, “So what? It's Russia.”

    Well, yeah. But, similar proddings have gone on in the UN and a lot of other countries. It's all an effort to reduce or censor the voice of those who wish to speak out – on whatever subject.
