  • X in Russia

    From Chris Jacobs@1:103/705 to All on Sun Sep 1 21:34:00 2024
    I saw rumours that X was blocked in Russia.
    I have a Proton VPN Plus account and I decided to test it.
    I set my exit point to Russia.
    I can post on X

    I read that x was blocked in Brazil although I don't know why.

    Yes there too and I can confirm it is actually blocked there.

    But https://x.com/HarkodeJong/status/1830228748165423305

    And I cannot confirm that.

    How did they block it though? Brazilians can't even acces the x.com website from their web browser? Or is it just banned from the play stores for them?
