Facebook blocks Russian page supporting Navalny, Putin's biggest critic
A bit of OT, but based on what I read on Russian Internets this Navalny person is generally recognized as a US sock-puppet even in the anti-Putin circles. His trial <i>is</i> clearly political, but it's less about him personally and more about keeping pressure on other agents of influence.<p>Facebook and Twitter though ... they don't have much choice, do they? They don't comply - they get a site-wide ban in Russia, which is hardly a headache they want being for-profit entities. Capitalism at work.
