This is a good point. Think about the implications of this. 
False News from end-to-end? 

I figure there are a couple things to consider.

The DMCA is going global at this point. Canada is close to getting one. There
are more:
DMCA Worldwide: Canada, New Zealand, USA

Question is why? Answer: WIPO + WTO = DMCA. 

If I control Russian news, I want to smear the arrested. I want the public to 
think this was a bad guy. I want the DMCA to look good. 

If you read the WIPO documents, you will find them pressuring these other 
countries to create DMCA type laws. They are not focused on Russia right now
because it is kinda out of control as it is.
