Zelensly states that he wants IT companies to stop supporting Russian versions of their products. Some of his supporters may feel that free software developers should do likewise. The second article argues that matters are not so simple. --- Zelensky Presses Companies - Microsoft, SAP And Oracle - To Punish Russia More https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2022/03/13/zelensky-presses-companies-microsoft-sap-and-oracle-to-punish-russia-more/ Tagging Microsoft, Oracle and SAP's official accounts, Zelensky tweeted Sunday the technology companies must "stop supporting" their Russian products, asserting the company's Russian pullbacks were "`half' decisions.'" --- War censorship exposes Putin's leaky internet controls https://news.yahoo.com/war-censorship-exposes-putins-leaky-211745727.html ... Yet the Kremlin's latest censorship efforts have revealed serious shortcomings in the government's bigger plans to straightjacket the internet. Any Russian with a modicum of tech smarts can circumvent Kremlin efforts to starve Russians of fact. For instance, the government has so far had only limited success blocking the use of software known as virtual private networks, or VPNs, that allows users to evade content restrictions. The same goes for Putin’s attempts to restrict the use of other censorship-evading software. That puts providers of internet bandwidth and associated services sympathetic to Ukraine's plight in a tough spot. On one side, they face public pressure to punish the Russian state and economic reasons to limit services at a time when bills might well go unpaid. On the other, they're wary of helping stifle a free flow of information that can counter Kremlin disinformation - for instance, the state's claim that Russia's military is heroically "liberating" Ukraine from fascists. --===============1880962047666724178== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline X19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX18KbGlicmVwbGFu ZXQtZGlzY3VzcyBtYWlsaW5nIGxpc3QKbGlicmVwbGFuZXQtZGlzY3Vzc0BsaWJyZXBsYW5ldC5v cmcKaHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy5saWJyZXBsYW5ldC5vcmcvbWFpbG1hbi9saXN0aW5mby9saWJyZXBs YW5ldC1kaXNjdXNzCg== --===============1880962047666724178==--
