I believe it is not only immoral to aid state censorship but also illegal for these companies to provide address blocks/ hosting to Russia's agencies.

So my question, where can one complain regarding illegal activity / sanctions evasion to make these companies disown Russian Firewall / RKN?

By 1998, Yahoo was the beneficiary of a de facto Ponzi scheme. Investors were excited about the Internet. One reason they were excited was Yahoo's revenue growth. So they invested in new Internet startups. The startups then used the money to buy ads on Yahoo to get traffic. Which caused yet more revenue growth for Yahoo, and further convinced investors the Internet was worth investing in. When I realized this one day, sitting in my cubicle, I jumped up like Archimedes in his bathtub, except instead of "Eureka!" I was shouting "Sell!"

Это к вопросу о эпицикле Оракла-Нвидии.

That's a funny perspective. USSR just before that time mostly killed communist apparatus members¥ and with them innocent people. In such an environment, there naturally won't be too many dissidents, so I don't think they registered.

They did kill a lot of supposed sympathiers of pre-Soviet Russia, though.

¥ As they say, internal competition is the most fierce one.

Otherwise why not sell them for $9.99 along with the house?

After all, Telegram is a worldwide platform and you can directly read Ukrainian news feeds there if you wish so. What would a concerning channel make compared to that?

YouTube was constantly blocking Russian channels and striking down videos, whereas I only remember Telegram banning a single channel in three years, due to a direct US sanctions hit.

Same for YouTube. If it gets blocked for good, does not mean you can't go to jail for speaking out while on YouTube.

The obvious take away at the moment is to think twice what you write anywhere in the Internet, as well as to avoid doing things with such dire consequences, or at least not bragging about them anywhere on the net.

Perhaps because they had some agreement in the end, perhaps because they simply couldn't.

In any case, it is now vital information infrastructure in ways YouTube isn't. Even though YouTube definitelt is critical. It's not just an amusement source.

Whatever stuff you want to see, you may consume there.

Indeed, news on the web are going the way of newspapers.

Of course I should have said "those who can bear healthy children late in their lives".

That would surely manifest in a few generations, sans some big civilization collapse. Or artificial uterus, for sure.

I hope they're happy with the zoo they have.

Made me chuckle as I would imagine these two should be least concern real estate supply-wise along with Russia.

"First, a deficit of oil. Then, a deficit of sand."

For smaller nations.

Larger nations receive too much scrutiny to get away with having fake history.

Then again, they have more resources to try and tweak the history as a science...

Some movies can also sell you some merchandise and a poster and perhaps a second go to cinema. More important, they can also sell IP rights to make a game out of it.

And people seem to forget that The Witcher is, first and foremost, a great book series.
