 yuko | has anyone else gotten a takedown request from the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation? | 12:46:49 |
| yuko | or The Federal service for supervision of communications, information technology, and mass media | 12:49:27 |
 TheFrenchGhosty | Basically all public instances have | 13:00:19 |
 perennial | havent seen anything here yet | 13:01:04 |
| perennial | though my instance is rather new, so maybe it's just a matter of time | 13:01:29 |

Basically all public instances have so, they just make their isps block your invidious instance? | 13:01:39 |
| yuko | if you dont comply | 13:01:44 |
| yuko | which is kind of impossible to comply | 13:01:51 |

so, they just make their isps block your invidious instance? Yes, most instances are blocked in Russia | 13:02:25 |

though my instance is rather new, so maybe it's just a matter of time i think i got the email as soon as my instance got listed on the official list | 13:02:28 |

which is kind of impossible to comply It's not, they ask you to block one or two videos | 13:02:41 |
| yuko | In reply to @thefrenchghosty:pussthecat.org
It's not, they ask you to block one or two videos they asked me to block multiple channels | 13:02:56 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | Really? Interesting | 13:03:10 |

i think i got the email as soon as my instance got listed on the official list how did you receive the email? was it via your cloud provider? | 13:03:35 |
| yuko | In reply to @perennialte.ch:matrix.org
how did you receive the email? was it via your cloud provider? yeah | 13:03:42 |
| yuko | both the channels arent even that big im really unsure why they would bother | 13:04:01 |

https://inv.oikei.net/channel/UC4Jp8GzjZ7cmwQ9fiHzkeOA Those seems new, I guess it's their new target, usually it's just a music video | 13:04:25 |

both the channels arent even that big im really unsure why they would bother They block political dissent | 13:05:25 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | Basically you have 2 ways to go about it:
- Ignore their request, the instance will end up blocked in Russia
- Comply and block the URL they want (but indirectly contribute to censorship) | 13:06:43 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | Your provider might force you to comply if they value their business with Russia, so might not have a choice unless you're okay in being kicked out | 13:07:17 |
| yuko | yeah | 13:07:32 |
| yuko | but the amount of dissent on youtube you would basically have to keep on blocking shit they request i presume | 13:07:51 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | In reply to @birdman:oikei.net
but the amount of dissent on youtube you would basically have to keep on blocking shit they request i presume It's rare from what I know | 13:08:04 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | As I said I only knew about a music video + another video | 13:08:24 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | From what I know, most instances owners don't comply, but I always recommend that they comply simply so that Russians can benefits from invidious (basically, hate the politicians, not the people) | 13:10:22 |
 unixfox | they found my email on my donation page lol. it's 100% manual process | 13:12:11 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | I just made a poll for the public instance owners to give us some informations/stats about this | 13:26:34 |

Download image.png | 13:26:39 |
| TheFrenchGhosty | results will remain partially internal so that they can't be used against instances | 13:27:02 |
