- And on the tactical side... although organisations like RIPE, and useful, ummm individuals like Elon Musk see fit to keep the enemy connected regardless of war crimes (but pretend neutrality regarding Ukraine), the enemy spends billions of euros anyway building their own segmented satellite internet network. The Old White Dudes remain clueless, insisting that their behind-closed-doors decision to keep every last .su was for the greater good (whatever that is). Though they're good at keeping the good old boys network exclusive: as the head of RIPE told me flat out: "I don't believe in Affirmative Action".
So the grassroots are acting, all of us, what an Internet should be. Two of the largest enemy providers, Astra and Allegrosky, have been down for a few days in row. The article also complains that, like StarLink, they somehow can't make it cheap. Orc psychology: I am no expert but I know cringe.

- On March 7, TikTok made all the content posted by non-Russian channels unavailable to Russian users. This unannounced restriction removes an estimated 95% of the content previously available to Russian TikTok users. Content restriction is happening at the application layer rather than the transport layer,which requires the direct involvement of TikTok. It is the first time a global social media platform has restricted access to content at this scale. A network of coordinated accounts is using a loophole to post new content promoting Russian pro-war propaganda in Russia, despite the current ban on new content uploads.
