When the invasion started, CZ.NIC (the .cz domain owner) also wiped DNS records of 8 supposedly "disinformation" websites based on - in their words - a consultation with the Ministry of Interior. No law was passed, there was no court order, they just got a phone call from some paper pusher and cut off 8 small news sites.
I'm so glad we live in a liberal democracy where we have rights and not in Russia with all its censorship and propaganda!
This happens in the US too. The DOJ seizes domain names for piracy. I think that happened to the old Mega when they arrested kimdotcom.
Even Microsoft once temporarily stole No-IPs domain names, dont ask me how that happened, to stop botnets. They said they did it on behalf of the government.
Canada's Public Safety Minister, Marco Mendicino, openly admitted in committee on Friday regarding the Emergencies Act, the trucker convoy and martial law, that he personally reached out to several journalists at the start of the protest to "warn them" about their coverage.
Maybe we will build our own Yugoslavia one day. A better version of it. A loose confederation with no "Serb domination" equivalent.
I say the Balts are welcome, even despite the Estonian Germanization and Nordic orientation. Lithuania surely so but they just all go together as a single bloc with Latvia and Estonia always. The anti-Russianism connects them so much.
We were in Prague a few years ago trying to hail a car to the airport and the driver couldn't understand our destination. Most older Czechs speak Russian as it was taught in school, so I strung together a sentence in bad Russian hoping to clarify.
Taxi driver went completely ballistic screaming and pounding about the Russians, Russian language, and petrified all of us with with a first class tantrum. He did deliver us to the airport spouting and fuming all the way. whew
Happened to me on a bus in Latvia too when the bus ticket lady required the fare and we didn't understand what she was saying, we asked her in Russian. Woman pitched a fit and literally spat on my friend (who was Welsh).
Former Warsaw Pact citizens don't take kindly to Russians, just sayin'.
Yep, that could explain why he is quite butthurt. I was suspecting he was just angry that communists lost Czechslovakia and that he was yet another resident commie. But I think your claim is correct, our dear resident Muslim is angry Czeckslovakia helped Israel.
That I understood, but that I never showed support? That I can comment here and as far as I know I have the right to do so? If you don't like it, then ban me.
Am I there with you, right now?
I understand why Disney, Sony, Warner Bros pulled their movie releases in Russia. I understand they are riding the tide, and they want to stay relevant, I understand they are woke idiots. Does that mean I support it?
"well they're commies, so they deserve it",
I am now on the camp that if anyone defends communism, nazism or whatever ideology that killed and supported censorship, then I will want them to enjoy the censorship too. Because I can not go to any other stormcuck community here without getting banned or censored. It is fair they get to enjoy what they advocate. It is so damn selfish of me if I am the only one getting censored by their ideologies(or others) while they get to enjoy my defense of free speech.
Ukrainians do have a significant neo-nazi population, so they deserve it, right?
Democracy is when you're imprisoned for a dissenting opinion. /s
Are you surprised after even Canada used the renamed War Measures Act against an anti-mandate protest, calling it terrorism ?
Guess whoever said "Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for diner" was right after all.
That’s not sarcasm.

the same thing happened in Poland, plus censoring some domains at the DNS server level
Awesome. The great northern Slavic alliance.

Czechs hate the Russians, period.

This is why many joined NATO. Very few people in those places like Russia because of what they have been through. It destroyed them.
Yeah, that's just bullshit. I really have no other words for it.
Wartime.
Czech Republic is at war?
Yes. Proxy by now.
There were also Russians caught organising a subversive paramilitary group with a base and armored vehicles. Either in Czechia or Slovakia.
And this recently: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/04/21/czech-police-detain-5-suspected-of-fighting-for-pro-russian-rebels-in-ukraine-a73691
When it comes to free speech, remember to Czech your privilege.
Holy shit the irony is over the top.
I downloaded a Learn Russian language app and started reading Poor Folk by Dostoevsky. Where do they draw the line on "Showing Support"?
You just became Literally Hitler.
Things went to shit so fast since ~2010.
Hate begets stupidity. Stupidity gets manipulated by clowns. Clowns rule by invocation.
Neoliberals are the real nazis.
I hope Putin glasses all of them.
I think I kinda understand why they are doing this... Especially what happened to them multiple times, including 1968
What does this have anything to do with the Czechs?
Apparently our Muslim brother is still salty over how Czechoslovakia armed the Jews in 1948.

I can I understand why they do it. I understand why Russia would do what they do. Governments shouldnt be able to do whatever they want.
Please tell. I said I understand, I never said I support.
But I do enjoy seeing commies eating their medicine for a change.

Hi! CNN?
And then ban me if you do not want me to write my thoughts here. Go on a report spree, or something. I don't care.
Seeing as to why someone chooses certain actions is not rational? Fascinating, tell me more.
