A critical element to censorship is what's placed in the vacuum after you do the censoring of free information. Censorship is essentially never just the act of censoring, it's typically a larger program in action and almost always includes state propaganda filling the vacuum they create after they censor. They're taking down, or trying to take down, some of the fill-in propaganda that the Russians will otherwise be receiving domestically or that the state machinery will otherwise be pushing outward (eg via RT) for foreign audience consumption. If you want to combat censorship, you'd also ideally want to target the propaganda delivery methods they're using to replace free information. Stripping the situation back to vacuum would be better than just leaving the Russian state propaganda to fill in the vacuum. That'd be a win.
