Best I can do.

Apparently, YouTube has signed its own verdict. Save content, transfer to Russian platforms. And hurry up,” she said.

Earlier in April, the Federation Council announced the risk of YouTube being outlawed in Russia after blocking the channel of the State Duma. Andrey Klishas, ​​head of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, stressed that he regrets such actions by YouTube.



Video hosting is taking a confident step towards becoming banned in Russia, he added.

On April 9, Google blocked the Duma TV channel of the State Duma on YouTube without the possibility of recovery.

It is specified that the channel had about 145 thousand subscribers, the number of video views exceeded 100 million.

In March, YouTube blocked the channels of Russian state-funded media. YouTube has also completely suspended all monetization features for users from Russia. In addition, Premium and Music Premium subscriptions were not available for users from the Russian Federation.

WhatsApp is not banned in Russia. I just sent and sent a message and made a phone call.

Russia has been wanting to separate internet way before now. None of this really hurts them. RuNet has been being talked about since at least 2010 from what I can find. Russia and China both want 100% “internet sovereignty”. Russian news sources written on this for years you can google if you want Russian sources.

This war is just searing it along. They already have their own versions of instagram and all. Which they told everyone to switch to after Russia blocked Meta.

Another RBC source said the capability of physically disconnecting the Russian part of the internet was tested. It was not immediately clear how long the disconnection lasted or whether there were any noticeable disruptions to internet traffic. The law stipulates that tests be carried out every year, but operations were called off in 2020 due to complications with the COVID-19 pandemic, RBC said.

The Kremlin was aware of the tests, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, describing them as timely and saying that Russia had to be ready for anything. The legislation seeks to route Russian web traffic and data through points controlled by state authorities and build a national Domain Name System to allow the internet to continue working even if Russia is cut off.

They’ll never be cut off. They most definitely will cut themselves off.

You’re not capable of using search engines inside VPNs?

Evidently no, as is most of our society, they call it the msm for a reason.
My back hurts, my knees hurt, not a kid anymore
I come here for my news, don’t need a VPN, well probably do but, well you know

My point is, the internet in the West is heavily regulated and pretty sure we all know that

That's too bad.

There are couple of Russian channels I subscribe to that are actually good windows into the various ethnic groups and cultures in Russia.

Here's one of them:

She's a very lovely girl who has taken it upon herself to showcase Russia and all of its various cultures and people. It's a positive thing to get to know people. You'll find less reasons to want to go to war and kill them.

I don’t know if YouTube will be blocked in Russia, but I see that the process of opening new channels on Rutube has begun.

For example, the Russian Ministry of Defense has not published anything on its YouTube channel for a month now - www.youtube.com...

but it opened its channel on Rutube and the last publication was there 2 hours ago - rutube.ru...
