Finally, I'll have decent teammates in Countrstrike 2.

It will be a dark day for piracy...

Luckily, libgen and sci hub are not based there

Russia tests cutting ~~itself~~ their citizens off from the rest of the internet

The state would certainly continue to interfere with the rest.

As a queer person in a place currently under russian control, I find a lot of the comments in favour of the censorship problematic. Being gay in public is illegal here, so a lot of our queer people find communities on the Internet. Being cut off from those would be terrible.

tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:

• propaganda
• scientific information
• funny cat videos

So I guess it's not really a surprise that this is happening.

To the people thinking this means Russia will no longer be able to interfere with other countries over the internet: you are probably mistaken. Disinformation teams will still be connected to the internet. All this will mean is Russians having even less exposure to the world outside of what little Vladolf wants them to see.

It will probably make the European CS2 servers less toxic though.

The worst (to me, anyway) part is that a LOT of pirate stuff will disappear if the russian internet gets gated

Russian Federation? M-more, more like, like... Russian De-Federation, am I right?

That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!

Wouldn’t it collapse their economy? Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world? And doesn’t a shitton of money flow into Russia via ransomware

This sucks, I've met so many very cool and interesting Russian people. The internet is meant to connect people not box them in an echo chamber.

Noooo! My sports streams!

Country Self-Defederation

Yeah I'm sure going full north Korea and cutting of everyone below the government is gonna work well

So turning it into an intranet.

• Again.

They do this every few years.

Fuck. Please don't take down Sci hub... I know there are mirrors elsewhere, should I be worried?

I'm not even going to make the usual joke, by saying sarcastically that I don't use it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's the biggest contributor to scientific progress in the last decade and I'm tired of pretending it's not

cs.rin.ru and rutracker ;_;

Also many people from the cracking scene y general.

Yeah - and I'm Dolly Parton. Everything that Russian press puts out is lies. There are only two reasons why Russia isn't an abandoned strip mall: Oil and the Internet.

The Splinternet | This Is How The Internet Dies

Xis puppet is learning another trick from its master
