Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 27 instructed the government to adjust internet search results for queries related to abortion. Search engines are to show users links to websites offering social support for pregnant women. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The measure is connected to efforts by Russian authorities to raise the country's birth rate. Putin had already pointed to this goal in September 2024. According to available information, the new instruction is meant to affect the way search engines present content related to the artificial termination of pregnancy.
Thus, when searching for information about abortion, links to help and support for women considering continuing their pregnancy should appear more prominently among the results. However, the information provided does not indicate which specific search engines are to comply with the measure, nor how the changes will be technically implemented. svet.sme.sk ↗
The Russian government must now translate Putin's instruction into practice and adjust the display of search results. Further developments will depend on the specific rules and on whether the authorities disclose details about the scope of the measure.
