    "
    Two of Ukraine's most popular social networking sites, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, are to be blocked in the country after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed an order imposing sweeping sanctions on Russia, including the Mail.ru Group which owns the two platforms.

    The controversial order also demands that Ukrainian internet providers block all Yandex services, including its search engine and antivirus programmes DrWeb and Kaspersky Lab.

    Yandex, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki are internet leaders in Ukraine in terms of daily audience figures, with the Ukrainian market the second largest after Russia for VKontakte, often dubbed the “Russian Facebook”."https://calvertjournal.com/news/sho...ocial-media-sites-vkontakte-and-odnoklassniki

    What a bunch of idiots are sitting in Kiev! :grin: Now whole Ukraine will use VPN to go to Odnoklassniki and search in Yandex. I think the next step from Pornoshenko and Co would be to block access to Internet :-D
    By the way, Litwin, be afraid, all the trolls from Yandex and Odnoklassniki will pop up here and will leave from you one wet spot :D

    """Ukraine to block Russian social media sites VKontakte and Odnoklassniki"""""

    Ukraine has silenced the "VKontakte and Odnoklassniki" , as the USSR has silenced the BBC and the voice of America.:applause:

    Well, since we're feeding troll there - let me throw in a bit of sour stuff: proxies. Who will want - will find a way, and will use proxies. Not to mention that, I think, Mail.ru can pretty legally sue ukrainian government for that in the international court.

    ...by the way, guess what else this decree blocks? Websites of "Kaspersky" antivirus, DrWeb, a-a-and production of 1C! You know, the maker of accounting and management software. That is used in business enterprises. A-a-a lot. Yep. Businessman demands to block business software. ...tha-a-a-at is used by(!!!) "Roshen" confectionary corporation, the sweet bread and butter of president Petro "Chocolate King" Poroshenko.

    Is it situation for "quarrel with bread and butter", or "shot his own foot" is more fitting there?

    Blah-blah-blah. Try telling that people who use it~ And for some magical reason have good results. Maybe people who you know just browse too much shady websites.

    No, he is not. You can read any news from Ukraine and on Ukranian web-sites from Russia. Moreover, Ukranian politics are invited for discussions on Russian TV (for example, in Solov'ev programm) where they can present their point of view on the political situation in Ukraine. So.... All this restrictions from Pornoshenko mean only that Ukraine is not a democratic country as you try to present it here.

    Yes, I'm sure all newspaper and TV outlets operate "independantly" in Russia, without Kremlin approvals.:roll:
