        jinxthesloth, 05 Dec 2025Why Roblox?Diddy fans play there. I hope these low lifes don't find out about Genshin Impact's Miliastra Wonderland.

          I am from Russia, and yep, they block anything they want with same excuse: ‘servicename’ is being used by terrorists and extremists. WhatsApp btw is also barely alive here. Looks like we’re gonna be second North Korea or China, haha. They also softly force people to start using the FSB-controlled messenger called Max (Telegram fork). Anyway, those who need Internet widely use VPN, though many protocols are being blocked already. But xray+vless will last forever, only way to counter it is to make a whitelist Internet segment

                      firstly it was Roblox, now FaceTime and Snapchat, the next move will be to FaceBook and Instagram and X (Meta apps)?

                        They'd better ban voice calls too, as they may be used to organise criminal activities. It's rich coming from a government that's been accused of crimes against humanity. It's all about power and control.
