Discord blocked in russia: what are russians being prepared for
russian authorities blocked the Discord messenger, which is popular primarily among gamers and students. The official reason cited was the presence of “illegal and extremist content” and the platform’s refusal to remove posts at the request of russian authorities.
▫️ The blocking of Discord occured despite the fact that it was actively used by the russian military. Now, the so-called “Z-military” are criticizing roskomnadzor, accusing it of near sabotage.
The kremlin’s decision to block yet another Western internet service is part of a broader strategy to isolate russians and prevent access to information that contradicts russian propaganda.
Earlier, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and others were blocked in russia, and YouTube is also facing operational restrictions. It’s likely that the blocking of independent resources will continue until the so-called “sovereign internet,” fully controlled by the kremlin, is established.
