Like the American Congress, they don’t seem to understand how the internet works…

Can't Russians just use a Russia-based speed test service? The results shouldn't be too different from a US one, other than lower latency. Or just use one of the many other US-based services.

The Russian speed test site always returns 3.6 Gbps.

Not great, not terrible.

This is that website with that colored speedometer-style speed indicator, right?

Yes.

If browsers actually permit a webpage to create national security issues, I’d think that Russia’s probably facing larger problems than that particular site.

There are lots of articles where I go “I don’t give a shit.” And I keep it to myself and scroll on. This one makes me actually ask “Who gives a shit?” In a legitimately curious capacity.

Like of all the low stakes, nothing burger, things to ban or get concerned about being banned. It’s just too weird for my comprehension.
