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

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

Everyone should block everything from Meta

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

But not for the reason Russia is doing it.

I’m just surprised they were using WhatsApp!

Makes you wonder about Telegram.

They also blocked it

They slowed it. Blocking Telegram would start an instant s**t volcano in Russia, perhaps a bigger one than officials currently expect to contain.
