We must somehow patch a connection in, to ensure they have a sufficient quantity of international memes, cats and porn. Access to the internet is a basic human right these days, we surely cannot abandon them.

And reddit will lose more users than it did at the end of June.
Nah, that’d take Turkey and Azerbaijan and China being shut off too. Russian bots are usually not so numerous.
I hope they don’t, all the best torrent sites are Russian.
похуй лол
Special internet operation initiated. :)
I think they should team up with China. Seems to have similar mentality.

God damn bud, thats the best comment I’ve seen in a long damned time :)
Internet 2 will be so hot
It is hot because we used recycled cables from Chernobyl. We tore them out of the wall as we retreated.

NSA and CIA are absolutely salivating at the idea of the Russians trying to roll their own TCP/IP stack. However good some of the Russian intel groups might be at offense, they are hot garbage at defense.
That’s not what they are trying to do at all though.
The article makes it sound more so like they want their own ‘great firewall’ like China, or to go even further and create something akin to North Korea.
No reason to reinvent tcp/ip in any case.
great now i have get a Cisco certificate in Russian ip
Here’s hoping that this doesn’t become a thing the Russian people deserve so much more and so much better.
It’s just sad that their dictator couldn’t care any less about the individual or the people as a whole.
So basically The Great Firewall of China is extending North?
Nah it’s not. China doesn’t need Russia in any capacity. It does need some of its natural resources, but not too badly really. It’s not any more keen on exploiting those than in Central Asian countries. Just doing usual Chinese things, no bigger interest.
Do you know what is The Great Firewall of China?
Yep. It’s something surrounding a 2-digit percentage of world population. Now Russia has a population of 140mln.
Incoming tankie defense of state censorship
it what happens when i go to the great with to gasoline and match
Cool, let them, so what?
It would be great, but think about it for a second. Russian bots and trolls that are operated by the government will still exist, it’s not like they would cease trying to spread misinformation or destabilizing opinions. So that won’t change at all. This would primarily affect the people in the country who would now be unable to see real news or learn things the government doesn’t want them to.
I’m all for giving Russia the finger, but I do fear that it won’t actually make anything better for the rest of us and would just make the people worse off.
“Thinking for a second”? You are posting this on the Web. Thinking is for losers.
Hell yeah get tf out you thinking nerds
I mean, if no normal citizen can access the outside internet then we will know for sure that any connection coming out of Russia has to be a bot. So that would make blocking them much more easier.
Russian bots and trolls that are operated by the government will still exist
I hope I can block whole ASNs originated from orcs land, so I can block those too. Or at least majority of them.
Because I need outside access to get the hell out of this godforsaken piece of dirt
Millions of Russian ctizens having their internet cut off isn’t a big deal?
Time to blow up the Kremlin.
I think if we wait a bit the Russians might do it themselves by accident
k bye
