It's clear that Russia is moving in the same direction of China, ban and erase all data or video, audio uploads that criticise the government or even make space for a wide range of diverse voices from protestors or just small minority groups whose opinions and right to free speech might not be in line with official government policy
Since big tech company's have millions of users they are a prime target for government censors and they have the money to pay large fines

- robbedpeter 5y agoMost Americans have a pretty favorable view of Russian citizens and culture. It's the dictators for life and abuses of civil liberty we take issue with. We want to see a better life for all human beings that doesn't involve jackboots on necks, it's got nothing to do with wanting to "see Russia destroyed." Personally, though, I do get irritated with straw men, fake outrage, and false dichotomy when it's trotted out to justify the actions of tyrants in pursuit of tyranny.
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoIt's hard to imagine that anyone believes that America's primary goal for 75 years has been to see Russia destroyed. Maybe you should try reading some non-native history books
- tut-urut-utut 5y agoSorry, the primary goal is not to destroy Russia. It's just a world domination, and destroying Russia is just a top task on the list of achieving and maintaining world domination, not a primary goal. And given the later rise of China, destroying Russia may even drop to place 2 of the US task list.
