    Corporations? No. It's mostly shitposters and cybercrime, tbh.

    They realized they can't let the West keep one-upping them when it comes to UTS (Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance).

    any idea when identification will start for foreign registrants of .RU domain?
    Also is there any limit on having domains?

    That is also factually correct. Just the color of flags and names of political parties do not mean much, it is just normal capitalism in China too. And you'd better move on from the simplistic view that "communism" doesn't mean much by itself other than being a label for something evil.

    No.

    ru legalized piracy from western countries:

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/03/russia-mulls-legalizing-software-piracy-as-its-cut-off-from-western-tech/

    So, for example, if you run pub torrent tracker and there is no ru licensed work distributed (but others are) - they won't take down anything and you profit from piracy in full force.

    or privacy lots of propaganda, censorship, if you talk about the regime you'd be punished, and so on... but what so ever I don't sent my money to such countries, but everyone is free to do whatever they want.

    Then luckily (or unluckily) for you, you didn't grow up in communism, else you would have seen the withering of the state. Most likely, you lived in a dictatorship that lied about having communist ideals in order to gain support of the proletariat.

    Not to mention, a communist country wouldn't even accept money, kind of by definition.

    I wonder which country was that, unless North Korea. Even USSR did not actually have communism, they only were "working" to attain it (by the year 2000 or something, kek), and later gave up, moving the goalposts closer to what they called "developed socialism".

    @cold said: or privacy lots of propaganda, censorship, if you talk about the regime you'd be punished, and so on...

    The word your looking for is not communism, instead, it might be something that is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

    And here's a helpful link so you can read more.

    Even the DPRK isn't communist. They follow a related ideology called Juche.

    @rm_ said: strong regimentation of society

    Almost as if it's the polar opposite of the elimination of class, which is a communist ideal. 🤔

    What about movie sites with pirated movies from the West?

    Many of them are currently using .ru domains.

    Starting March 1, 2026, new Russian laws will allow the Ministry of Culture to ban foreign films (including Hollywood productions) that violate "traditional Russian spiritual and moral values" or that promote "non-traditional relationships".

    In other words, many movies will be banned in Russia, and many major US studios no longer license their new films for release in Russia, so there is a copyright issue too.

    They are illegal in several ways, but will they still be ignored by the Russian authorities because it is companies from "unfriendly countries" that loss money on the piracy?

    It's a common problem for many states. USA restrict China equiepment and software, UK too, France want to off all Microsoft products. World more and more suverenised.

    I think it should open before September 1, otherwise it will be a huge failure.
    No limits on domain registrations or renewals.

    Not only movies, but also books (except for those published before 1991) are banned. In addition, even if movies/books are not banned, they may still be censored, and there are already many examples of this.
    Some well-known songs by Russian rock and pop artists have been edited, with words and expressions that are now subject to censorship removed. While this may seem strange, it is unfortunately a common occurrence, and in the UK for example (once a beacon of "classical democracy"), certain statements against Muslims can lead to criminal charges. While this may be a government policy and a blatant display of hypocrisy, there is currently nothing that individuals can do about it.

    Add in all the wars currently going on and starting, and you can replace "Internet" with "world" there.

    Regarding the Max messenger, right now it is easily avoidable. It is not required to access the Internet, to use state services, or to pass age verification. Although they nudge everyone to install it so actively, that it might be, at some point. Sensible people plan for a second smartphone for that.

    That's right. I can also say that Max currently has fewer features than Telegram, as it is a new player in the market, and not all of its features have been implemented yet. For example, WeChat has been developed for many years and is widely used by the Chinese, making it an excellent system for them. For those who want to discuss the policies of the Communist Party, there are probably other systems available, including Telegram:)

    Telegram is about to be banned anyway so...

    I thought Telegram was actually made by a Russian company. A lot of people I know have never trusted it for that reason.

    No offense, but that doesn't seem any different to .ru.

    After getting sick of manually blocking spam mail from several new .ru domains almost every day, I added *@*.ru to local_sender_blacklist and probably the amount of spam I got was cut by about 80% overnight.

    FWIW, I don't think I've ever had any spam from a .su domain.
