I totally get the sentiment, but it will be the worst thing that west can do right now. Russia been practicing and preparing for a while to "sovereign internet", i.e. total disconnect from rest of the internet and operating independently.
If ICANN/RIPE will shut things down, it will give to Russian government excellent excuse to totally disconnect from rest of the world
- indemnity 5y agoI sure will miss the balanced perspectives Russian trolls and bot farms bring.
- tguvot 5y agoIf you think i am russian troll, please check out my comments from past few days edit. in case i initially misunderstood what you wrote, there is still a lot of people who are west oriented a nd hate everything that happens.they are horrified by what is happening. many writing that they ashame to be russian. i have friends that go daily to protests those days. shutting down this communication will isolate them and will be disservice for everyone long term
- iczero 5y agoIf you really think cutting Russia off will stop the trolls, think again. North Korean cyberattacks almost never happen from North Korean address space. Nothing prevents Russia from just setting up shop somewhere else.
