A Reuters story states, “A new Russian law makes it possible to jail journalists who intentionally spread what the Russian authorities describe as ‘fake news’ for up to 15 years. The law makes it illegal to report any event that could discredit the Russian military.
“‘To comply with the changes in Russian law, LSEG today announces it is suspending access to products in Russia that contain its news and commentary,’ LSEG said in a notice to customers.
