Russia has blocked the web anonymity service TOR, the RBC business daily reported Wednesday, citing state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, in what activists warn is part of an effort to restrict internet freedom within the country.
well shit
it’s smuggling tor executables on USBs time 😎
though i doubt they’ll succeed to any meaningful degree
Is that possible? I would think that they’re blocking it with deep packet inspection that simply drops any Tor traffic. There are only so many ISPs, after all… the Russian people aren’t draping hand-me-down fiber cables across backyard fences (and if they were, there’d be little need for Tor).
i’m not sure tbh, but tor proved to be relatively immune to censorship attacks with a combination of unlisted tor relays and protocol obfuscation, and as far as I’m aware there aren’t many better ways to block tor traffic other than just cutting the wires between you and the isp or putting a person next to you so he can look at your computer screen
Afaik using tails through bridges, preferably on public wifi from far away using a directional antenna, would work fine.
Isavnin said Russia is moving closer toward implementing its so-called sovereign internet that will allow the country to cut itself off from the rest of the World Wide Web.
This is scary as hell. Tough times are ahead for us all, indeed.
Indeed. I remember their big test run from a few years ago.

No white supremacist comments, this is the last warning you’ll get.

You are funny. I usually date N.E. Asian men, so hardly think of myself of a white supremacist. My landlord was born and raised in China. My fridge or pantry are chock full of east Asian foods. I can speak a bit of Japanese and lived there for a short while - with my Japanese BF…who I moved there for. He called me “henna gaijin” which means I am not like other Americans or foreigners (whites), because I loved the Japanese culture and wasn’t “too” American. I simply think it is best for whites to stop moving to nonwhite countries and I happen to know that many nonwhites agree with me on that. My grandmother was Polish - moved to the USA in her early 20s. I am a big advocate of a Slavic Union so that the Slavic ethnicity has protection from other countries who keep invading them. People really jump to conclusions, don’t they?!
I physically cringed while reading this. It sounds more like a copypasta and I’m still holding out hope that it is.
it can’t be if I don’t know what a copypasta is
