Somehow makes me feel sad that it is once again a post directed against Russia’s government. When we think well and compare what happens in other occidental countries it is quite the same.
US already have laws that restrict access to multiple sources that are against government ideals (whatever who’s the president in charge by the way, it’s not something new because of Trump but it has already been the case long before under Bush’s and Obama’s administration).
France just passed some laws under the table using Covid-19 as an excuse to justify internet control and repression. These laws have been published in China two years ago and any occidental country accused them of dictatorship. But now they found the glitch that allows them to introduce the very same laws they were in fact just jealous of. And it’s the same for almost all European countries. I’m form Switzerland and believe me it’s the same. We just hide a little more those laws for the people not to realise it and not to fight them.
Even worse, what they call “internet safety” that I’d rather name “internet domination and repression” has now been privatised by the GAFAs and no one bats an eye...
Of course it is a terrible thing coming to light but it’s not new and it pisses me off when I see occidental people just accusing Russia, China or any other country to be dictatorial when the exact same laws exist and are applied in their countries. They just accept them because they have been told it’s for their own safety against so-called “fake news” that in reality are just free speech and people exposing truths that are never discussed in the official news.
So let’s not turn against on country or an other, but let’s behave as a free talking community should and let’s defend any population against dictatorship whether it is official regime or hidden one ! Let’s use those decentralised application to publish our thoughts, to publish what really happens under the clouds, and let’s share those apps everywhere around us as much as we can.
I work as a crypto and precious metal trader and since a few months I decided to publish my analysis using only the steem and then the hive blockchain, and I use twitter to bring people threw website links directly here. We should all do the same.
