Russia decides

Russia doesn't decide anything, Putin does.

And how exactly does it help to stop the war, if a website decides to block visitors from Russia?

Are you asking how sanctions work?

If so, and in this case; by blocking tools to circumvent said sanctions, in order to increases pressure on the Russian people by removing luxuries like access to the global market and its products and services (like Facebook)

@iamada this doesn't answer why the same extensions were not removed by Google, of all things.

And "pressure on the Russian" people only causes frustration directed to the ones who imposed such restrictions.

By the way, Facebook was blocked by Russia, it has nothing to do with sanctions.

@iamada this tool is to circumvent Russian state censorship, not sanctions.

@iamada also, sanctions like the ones imposed on Russia are designed to pressure the war economy and the ruling class, not "the people"

Aha, Putin lays coordinates of every target, pulls every trigger and personally rapes every woman on this war. 0 days since somebody tried to sell us this old funny story.

Blocking visitors from Russia means excluding population heavily indoctrinated by Russian propaganda from normal resources.

Anyway it is a good idea to figure out why Mozilla did that. There could be different and very surprising answers.

1.

All political decisions are made by Putin, and armed forces implement his will.


2.

Russian people generally do not believe TV propaganda and do not have any opinion at all. That's what sociologists say.

@cybertailor @iamada "Russian people (...) do not have any opinion at all"
So why do we need them here?

"That's what sociologists say"
Ahm... Sociology in Russia?
