Russia bans Facebook and Instagram

A Moscow court banned Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook and Instagram in Russia Monday, in what was the first use of the country’s sweeping law on “extremism” against a foreign technology company.

The presiding judge backed the prosecutor’s request to ban the social networks with immediate effect, ruling their activities “extremist,” according to the court’s official Telegram channel.
 
Just keep the packets open for the Russian intelligence operators.

This so they can use the platforms to determine where the training camps are and bomb the **** out of them influencers
 
Waiting for the Russian apologists to enter.
 
Per-to-Peer is probably the way to go as impossible really to block unless the entire Internet is switched off - we have Secure Scuttlebutt (SBB), Retroshare, Aether and others which are quire active. Decentralised PixelFed, Mastodon, Friendica, and others are also pretty good alternatives. I have way more interaction on my Mastodon account than on my Twitter account. It is a world of choices if we're not boxing ourselves into just a few mainstream social networks.
