SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — No more Putin memes (in Russia, at least).

Roskomnadzor, Russia’s federal executive body responsible for overseeing the media, has banned internet memes that poke fun of Russian President Vladimir Putin, among other Russian “public figures.”

Roskomnadzor posted the following announcement on social network Vkontakte (essentially Russia’s version of Facebook):

“Violation of legislation on personal data in relation to public figures includes use of the photo of a public person to impersonate popular Internet memes, unrelated to the identity of the “celebrity”.

These methods of using of personal data violate the requirements of the legislation on personal data and discredit honor, dignity and the business reputation of public figures.”

Websites that host memes depicting public figures in a way that they feel doesn’t accurately represent their personality must remove them, according to the ruling.

“Roscomnadzor asks social media sites to remove abusive information,” the post states. “And if it fails — we take it to courts.”

That means if you are reading this story from a computer in Russia, you probably won’t see these:
