I still think that Telegram will follow in WhatsApp's footsteps, but that's just speculation. WhatsApp will definitely be blocked, and Telegram most likely will as well (In Russia)

It certainly looks like it, that's exactly what's happening. This is part of the same pattern as the mobile internet shutdowns. I'll just remind you that Russia set a record for mobile shutdowns and the filtering of all previous services. I'd say this is precisely about building that very "Cheburnet," and as a resident of Russia, I'd slowly prepare for whitelists. I'm sure that if Putin maintains his health and power for some prolonged period of time—say, a year or two or three—we'll ultimately arrive at whitelists. That's when there's a list of what's allowed and everything else is forbidden (In response to the hosts' question: "Doesn't this look like preparation for a sovereign network - the Cheburnet?" (in Russia))

The ones who definitely need to leave Russia are gay people. No doubt about it. Moreover, I can bet that if Putin stays for another two years, it will come to forced castration or some other insanity… Seems like fantasy? Just wait, many things happening now seemed like fantasy three years ago too

I assure you, if Putin is killed for waging war, the next person who comes to power will understand that they will be killed if they continue the war. And the war will end
