    Why can’t the US do the same to Russia’s social media sites? Let them have some political upheaval for a change.

      I think this play only works on democratic countries unfortunately.

      Russia is very locked down. They regularly ban outside media.

      On top of that, Putin arrests/assasinates political competition, and puts in place a controlled opposition.

      And finally, their elections are fake.

      Because Russia controls these sites and wouldn’t let any sensible opposition in. Putin is trying to be a dictator for life with illusions of democracy (you need to give ambitious people the illusion that they could do something).

        As much as many people will dislike the idea: it seems like ‘not letting in foreign sites’ is currently the winning strategy
