Head of Russia’s presidential human rights council calls VPN use ‘unnatural,’ says independent media offer only ‘the enemy’s point of view’

Russians who use VPNs are not looking for an alternative perspective online — they are looking for “what the enemy is saying,” Valery Fadeyev, the head of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, said. He called it “something unnatural” to use services that circumvent internet restrictions.
