 @grb090423 @TheCoolest @drdpov @noondlyt @johnglass @kevinrothrock I mean, come one, what would you think would the Russian state do? Likely they have big fines, if they don't comply, maybe even arrest people? "I would say that I’m surprised Mozilla gave in, but at the same time, it’s highly likely resisting would lead to massive fines and possible arrests of any Mozilla employees or contributors living in Russia" 4 comments
@grb090423 @TheCoolest @drdpov @noondlyt @johnglass @kevinrothrock BTW Mozilla has restored the extensions! https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/14/mozilla_firefox_russia/ @rugk @grb090423 @TheCoolest @noondlyt @johnglass @kevinrothrock the point is that those original requests from authorities did not refer to any low. It's forbidden to promote vpn like services, but hosting or installing them is still permitted. If you want an example of what happens to services which are not complying with laws un russia - they are just getting blocked - like LinledIn, twitter, instagram etc @rugk @grb090423 @TheCoolest @drdpov @noondlyt @johnglass @kevinrothrock I hear this argument quite often, but unlike Google or Microsoft, does Mozilla have or has it ever had any offices or employees in Russia? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contact/spaces/ shows only 4 locations. Also, much bigger companies have left Russia after it started the war. Should have been a no-brainer for Mozilla. |

@grb090423 @TheCoolest @drdpov @noondlyt @johnglass @kevinrothrock Let's see how Google can resist, maybe even longer. I mean they likely have received the same letters?
