Such internet restrictions are more commonly associated with countries like China, Iran, Russia and, more recently, India.

That makes it even worse no? If establishment mouthpiece is vaguely concerned then things aren't going great.

This tracks with what Pavel Durov of Telegram has to say about France. Him having French passport didn't really work out.

TikTok forced sale is closest. You don't need blackout if social media is cooperative.

It happened during last week's No Kings Rally, when Facebook shut down all No Kings pages, and they couldn't Livestream or post updates throughout the day. It was clearly deliberate suppression.

There's a big difference between that and a nationwide blackout though.

After he was arrested for by France for all thoses crimes that are happening on his platform, you shouldn't trust anything Durov says about France. He should still be in jail
