@iamada you just completely missed the point :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:
Take, for example, "www.facebook.com". The Russian government can't control it, so it orders ISPs to block it entirely.
There are browser extensions to circumvent website bans by using proxies and/or anti-DPI measures, so people using such extensions can access "www.facebook.com" again.
Mozilla, without any notice, makes such extensions (and only them!) unavailable in Russia.
It's more likely that Mozilla did it to comply with Russian laws.
@cybertailor they have to, otherwise they can/will be sanctioned, which would hurt the service for everyone.
This doesn't mean I agree, I'm just explaining why this is happening and why it's pointless being angry with Mozilla for it.
They blocked tools to circumvent sanctions, for the sanction country... like, you don't get to ignore the wider context here just because it fits your narrative.
If you wish to be angry at someone, be angry at Putin and his cohort of yes-men for starting the war that caused the sanctions to begin with, not Mozilla for following the law.
