Hah, go figure. Russia's connected to every right wing moral panic, it seems. From trump to migrants to using gender for the purpose of discrediting people of color. It's always that idiot in Moscow.

Russia deserves to be booted from the internet at this point. A glorified gas station, home to massive numbers of bots and agitators, allowed to undermine democracies worldwide. Cut the cables. (Install a quick-disconnect? It's like a series of pipes, right? /s)

Then we need to deal with poorly moderated sites (like Elon's) that encourage dis/misinfo and hate to spread, under the guise of "freeze peach".

It is already, from both sides. There's massive censorship from the inside, with a killswitch already in place waiting for a moment to actually disconnect Russia from the global internet. As well as sanctions and embargoes from every other site, no matter if they're commercial or not, just because admins couldn't be bothered implementing anything better than blocking the entire Russian IP range.

Fuck you for saying this, though. Don't call to make the lives of anti-war people harder than it already is, you'd just be throwing more fuel into the fire by proving the Russian propaganda to be true.

Just following 500 years of russian tradition. Spreading those 'traditional russian values'
