#4Incidentally nobody in Russia can read that article because they already banned the BBC and 80 other EU media outlets. And Facebook. And Instagram. And Twitter. And Discord.
This is standard Russian censorship of western media and news.

Everybody in Russia who is not a complete idiot already has a VPN that allows to circumvent censorship (for now).

In the end it'll likely end with whitelists of allowed IP addresses, and that will indeed insure that nobody would be able to access banned resources.

Yes, we have to use censorship circumvention tools to make the internet usable. Especially when it's mobile data. About a year ago I got fed up enough that I bought an OpenWRT router and installed Zapret on it. Now, at least while at home, I can mostly forget that internet censorship is a thing.

I already had this idea of tunneling traffic through the voice/video calls in the Max messenger app. No one has done it in practice, yet, but I see no reason why it should not be possible.

Zapret isn't good enough, because a lot of random websites geoblock RU via Cloudflare. you'd be better off with a VPN running on a cheap VPS.

#9I don’t get it. Roblox is an American company. Wouldn’t the pretty broad sanctions prevent them from operating there already?

#10Roblox has been banned in China since 2021. Perhaps it's something to do with nationalist governments not liking global corporate circumvention of their culture/power.
