I wonder how it is with instagram these days because as far as I understand it's been banned as an extremist organisation and people using it in Russia might face fines, even jail time.
Yet I find myself arguing on instagram with a lot of Russians who are located in Russia - I see their recent posts with location tags and everything. I wonder maybe the law doesn't apply if you support the "military operation".What's odd for me is those fake news which I just shared myself this morning.
It's not the first time I discover fakes/false news which seemed that they were meant to spread in western media. I wonder if it's part of information war to lift the spirits or it's part of kremlin's plan to spread as much random fake news as possible and eventually people will start questioning everything like if Bucha massacre actually happened.
The internet is odd in Russia. I've been to St Petersburg for work a couple of times.
Some things are there, just as you'd expect, but others aren't.
LinkedIn for example simply doesn't exist on Google if you look for it from Russia. You don't get any indication that it's banned, it simply isn't there in the list of results.
