They made it a crime to spread deliberate disinformation about Russian military operations. This law was not aimed at random citizens, but at the former mainstream media outlets in Russia which have now left (another massive win for them.)
If I spread fakes about how US marines were raping babies in Baghdad, and went to great lengths to produce such a believable fake, and it got hundreds of thousands of views, do you think I would get off scot free? Doubtful.
also, by the "rest of the free world" you must mean every country except Ukraine, where you can be tortured and executed merely for expressing a favorable view about Russia, and where somebody like me would be sadistically and slowly tortured to death for my views.
"Deliberate disinformation" is anyone who reports anything that hasn't been approved by the Kremlin. It applies to everyone.
Of course you'd get off scot free, Putin isn't going to arrest you for doing what he tells you to.
