ofcom PLEASE hire a few guys from roskomnadzor pleeeeaseeeeeee it would be so fucking funny
we need to make euroids understand what actual internet censorship looks like
@halva operation paperclip for censorship i feel like the us has done this at some point but can't quite remember. we're certainly many years out from being legitimately censored
@halva to be honest: That shit the UK and the EU are doing? That is is absolutely internet censorship.
That being said, folks act like it is an entirely new issue only once it affects them directly.
@navi it is but im just fucking baffled by the absolute complacency of the average person
ive seen more actual pressure put on the government here in 2019 💀 and russia then already was a highly authoritarian state
@navi even just using entirely legal and widely available tools to bypass said censorship is an insurmountable mount apparently
an average russian grandma watching youtube on her phone is apparently more proactive than western euro youth lol

feels a bit surreal seeing monarchists, libertarians, liberals and communists at the same protest lol
@navi https://youtu.be/WXU-72-zloA
and at an earliest protest, right wing liberals (PARNAS), soclibs (Vesna) and anarchists lol
@halva The reason for that is that they've been trained to be complacent – this stuff is learned helplessness, a prime example, even
