The Safe Internet League will no longer process reports concerning "extremist" content, according to the organization's leader Ekaterina Mizulina.

This decision follows the recent passage of legislation banning online searches for materials classified as "extremist," Mizulina explained.

"The submission of reports regarding extremist activities, terrorism, and threats of school attacks will be discontinued," the Safe Internet League head stated.

However, she clarified that the organization will maintain its efforts against the dissemination of child sexual abuse material, drug sales, suicide promotion, and bestiality.

On July 31, President Vladimir Putin approved a law imposing fines for searching online "extremist" content, set to take effect on September 1, 2025. Under the new rules, Russian citizens face penalties ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles for intentionally seeking materials listed as "extremist" by the Justice Ministry.

Mizulina had opposed the amendments, warning they would "cripple" the League's operations. The legislation also drew opposition from State Duma members representing the Communist Party (CPRF), New People, and A Just Russia.
