Didn't Russia already ban Facebook? What's the point of this legal game?

This is just a part of Russia's overall playbook. Sow doubt, maintain deniability, gaslight, deflect, and project. It's honestly fascinating to see an entire country treat the global community like an abused spouse.

It's informative to see that Reuters carries their water, because it fits a particular narrative they know brings $/click... I suppose you could look at the author, but by clicking the link you've done their bidding.

Here in Russia it's a total clusterfuck at this point.

1) Roscomnadzor bans Twitter in Russia.

2) Russian embassy posts on Twitter claiming Mariupol hospital bombing was faked.

It's like:

Should we ban Twitter in Russia? Yes.

Should we keep posting Russian propaganda on Twitter? Also yes.

> Should we keep posting Russian proganda on Twitter? Also yes.

Well, that propaganda is for foreign audiences.

This is 100% consistent. You can believe the game is rigged, but still be forced to play.
