Everyone should block everything from Meta

But not for the reason Russia is doing it.

and not just Meta, but everything enabling spying of the citizenry... google, ring, etc.

One could almost think Russia is slowly beginning to turn into a dictatorship 🤓

What do you mean dictatorship? It's a "special military regime"! 🤡

I mean... blocking anything from Meta benefits democracy, if only by a micron.

"worst country you know just did a good thing".

Makes you wonder about Telegram.

They also blocked it
perestroika@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 181d
They slowed it. Blocking Telegram would start an instant s**t volcano in Russia, perhaps a bigger one than officials currently expect to contain.

I'm just surprised they were using WhatsApp!
