Russia and Social Media Irony? - gadje - 03-05-2022
Didn't they ban Facebook and Telegram in Russia?
miley-laughing001:Russia’s flagship air carrier Aeroflot said Saturday it would temporarily halt all international flights — except to Belarus — starting Tuesday.
Russia’s biggest state-owned airline cited “circumstances that hinder operating flights” as a reason for its decision.
“For passengers who will remain abroad by the time the flights stop, the airline will make its best efforts to organize their return to Russia,” the Aeroflot said in a Facebook post. “Passengers of canceled international flights may apply for a full refund.”
Aeroflot said it would continue flights within Russia, as well as to and from neighboring Belarus. Russian state news agency Tass also confirmed the news on its official Telegram page.

Good luck with that Aeroflot, both Sabre and Amadeus have removed your information from their databases.

I have friends and colleagues in Russia, and I checked in with them through FB after reading about the ban. The majority replied, writing that vpns were in use.

I only asked if they were able to use FB, due to reading about the ban. I would not ask them to put their opinions about the war in a way that could be retained. I'm sure you've read the new laws against anyone who expresses dissent. When I learned about the filtering of anti-war text in internet traffic, I began posting pictures of western news sources, and I believe that has been welcomed, but i won't ask.
