In plain words
These provisions punish passing things on, not looking. Forwarding, bringing material into a group, or echoing it in a comment section all count as spreading when a case is handled. Spreading that reaches the level of inciting subversion or inciting separatism brings up to 5 years, and 5 years or more for ringleaders. Books and audio-video material on terrorism and extremism are an exception: knowingly keeping them in your possession, in serious cases, brings up to 3 years.
