The when-in-Russia dept. posted a message on Saturday January 1.

Russia's state media watchdog added the U.S.-based streaming service to its register of "audio-visual services" this week and will require it to offer state television channels to its Russian customers. Online streaming services with over 100,000 daily users are required to register a Russian company in order to be included in the register. Russian federal television channels can be watched on stream through registered services. The Russian Orthodox Church's in-house channel Spas, as well as the flagship state-owned Channel One, will be offered to users of the streaming service. The laws that must now be obeyed include a restriction on the promotion of "extremism" which has been used against supporters of the anti-Kremlin opposition.
