On March 10th russian government tried to block or at least slow down twitter because twitter refused to delete some posts that russian govt wanted to be deleted.

Things that were down that day in russia:
- rostelecom (largest russian isp)
- FSB (russian CIA)
- SKRF (russian FBI)
- RKN (russian FBI but for internet control)
- gosuslugi (basically the govt website for all utilities imaginable including but not limited to medical help, taxes, passports, everything)
- kremlin website

Things that were up that day in russia, operating at a regular speed:
- twitter

    @ostream apparently they throttled everything with "t.co" in the url. There was a rant about it a couple days ago.

    When you solve a problem with regex, you have two problems.

    Since Twitter and Facebook have started purging non-mainstream and non-woke users they are effectively dead as platforms. Millions of people have been purged recently. Possibly hundreds of millions. Youtube is doing the same thing. It is going to create more alternate platforms.
