I prefer this ISP blocking to their OfCom push where they tried to force companies worldwide to obey their regulations and make executives personally liable for actions of their users (an operator of a free forum, for example who has a full time job and runs a hobby forum in his free time).

I'm with you on this. I've been an early paid Antigravity IDE user. Their recent silent rug pull on quotas, where without any warning you get rate-limited for 5 days in the middle of code refactoring, enrages users, not simply making them unsatisfied with the product. It actually makes you hate the evil company.

>Yeah it's really hard to block tally count of five IPs.

They blocked 16m IPs, to the extent that it started affecting the entire Russian's internet stability, and Telegram was still available there: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/17/russia-blocks-...

>Wake up

Is that a demand? A slogan? I wonder how much your own wokeness affects your ability to absorb facts.

Telegram has private chats. I don't pay attention to his words, indeed. Way before the Ukrainian war, Russia had a massive campaign trying to block Telegram and they failed on a technical level. This has never happened with WhatsApp.

I trust Telegram more: Putin never had any problems with Whatsapp, only with Telegram.

If insiders trade, the market becomes more accurate, which is good for society. Like WikiLeaks. Thus the MSN panic, the legacy establishment wants Polymarket to follow Assange's path.
