Russia is one of rare places without censorship :))

Not sure about that, but the common position here is that Twitter, Facebook, etc. are private companies and can deny service to whomever they wish without it being considered censorship.

I have mixed feelings about it, but in principal I think I agree. Ultimately, it will force right wing voices to develop channels that they have vertical, integrated control of from development, infrastructure, distribution, etc.

Now what Amazon Web Services has done to silence Parler may go well beyond that, and represent a breach of contract, but I don't know enough to say.

The big techs are monopolies that should be broken up, whichever way this plays out.

Agreed. And they are no longer platforms, they are publishers, and should be held to that legal standard.

one Party, wich controls all media.
it reminds me something.

Yes, I can imagine it does!

BTW, I made a huge pan of pelmeni yesterday and taught all my neighbors about good Russian food!

Did you knead the dough and make the minced meat yourself? We wanted to make pelmeni, kind of New Year tradition, but laziness had won :(

Yup, made dough and everything from scratch then started turning out dozens on the pelmenitsa.

Respect, bro! :)
Seriously, those wich are made by hands from scratch, those the only true ones.
But this a lot of work :)

Telegram must be happy with this situation. New users pouring there from Whatsapp.
I wonder where are their servers located. If it possible to Amazon or Google to ban them.

In last 3 days they got 25 000 000 new users.

What do you put on them when you eat them? I like them with smetana and dill (укроп) but Bosnians also dress theirs in paprika and garlic fried in butter.

smetana or butter.
or both.

btw, it was not Trump's account.
someone created fake account wich gathered about half million followers :)
