‘Russia has officially blocked Rumble because we refused to comply with their censorship demands.
Ironically, YouTube is still operating in Russia, and everyone needs to ask what Russian demands Google and YouTube are complying with?’
@Unanim0usOrangeGreen2wks2W
Russia banning Rumble is a big cognitive-dissonance event for certain "Dissident Influencers" who've become actual Russian stooges lately. They love to peacock as huge Free Speech defenders, while oddly ignoring or even justifying the extreme Censorship Crackdown imposed by Putin
Roskomnadzor just complains to random ISPs about random websites (including to people I've known), and sends Russian language letters making demands to people who don't speak Russian that operate english language websites. I feel like the notices they send are automated. (not saying it is in rumble's case) It's quite bizarre.
To my knowledge, YouTube isn't blocked in Russia and I believe all the anti-Russia content is still on there.
If we had 1 world govt, it would be a lot easier for them to control information and silence truths they find inconvenient. Maybe that’s the ultimate goal???

Or Maybe that was the ultimate goal when our Congress banned TikTok.
@FerventD3m0cr4cyPatriot2wks2W
strange because I kept reading that Rumble is some sort of pro-Kremlin propaganda outlet:
@Freedom762wks2W
Sounds kind of like America banning TikTok.
@R3dStateJim2wks2W
Sad to hear this, but X continues to block Brighteon, so Elon Musk is no better than Putin when it comes to allowing freedom of speech.
I think the Russian authorities will now figure it out and lift the ban on the Ramble platform, let’s wait, I think an excessive bureaucratic approach played a role here

In your opinion, should social media platforms comply with government demands for the sake of operating in their country, or should they stand firm on their principles?
@9MCK4B5Peace and Freedom 2wks2W
No due to the way it's a form of their public entertainment and companies should be able to run whatever they want
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
Does the fact that YouTube still operates in Russia, unlike Rumble, make you question the compromises companies might make to maintain presence in certain countries?
@9MCK4B5Peace and Freedom 2wks2W
No due to Russia being a completely communist country as we are a democratic country
