It’s starting to feel like the West is using this conflict as a proxy to implement China-like Great Firewall measures on its own populations. The “globalist” ideal that international commerce and communication would bolster peaceful relations is becoming increasingly farcical. I don’t think that I’ve ever visited a .ru domain name, so it’s not like this will affect me much personally, but sure seems like a weak and paranoid move to me.

This has allowed them to build native alternatives and given them leverage when negotiating with foreign companies who want to do business there. Not to mention they can shield the people against foreign propaganda. Competitors copying it is inevitable.
