And your point is? They can use their own services, nobody wants to prevent that. But guess what? Putin doesn't like its citizen's to be able to read outside

And your point is? They can use their own services, nobody wants to prevent that. But guess what? Putin doesn't like its citizen's to be able to read outside sources and is shutting things outside access himself. Even BBC has to restart using AM radio for its russian services (not done since the Cold War). Stop 'victim playing' and blaming the west, when you should be blaming your leader for the massive censorship going on in Russia right now.

Look i get it, you are angry but stop telling people that their leader is someone and accuse them of "victim playing", was Trump your leader? Has anyone told you that you are playing victim? Was Bush Jr your leader the guy who attacked two Country's and lied about Chemical weapons in Iraq..where did i heard something like that lately? https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-moscows-claims-of-biological-weapons-programme-in-war-hit-country-are-absurd-propaganda-says-us-12561787 https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-moscows-claims-of-bio...

It seems nobody here actually read the OP, jumping straight to the flamewar in comments. Lumen and Cogent already stopped peering with Russian ISPs. It's not Russian government, and they are doing the dirty work for the Russian government. This is not about punishment or providing services, this is about peering and basic connectivity at the backbone level. It can break the Internet as the common medium, and not just for Russia. This sets the precedent that undermines decades of development and can make the biggest contribution to peace in the history of humanity fall apart into different bubbles.

  >can make the biggest contribution to peace in the history of humanity fall apart into different bubbles. Very powerful message and on point, it's no wonder every dictator shuts the net down when things start to turn/burn internally.
