    Someone I know was in St Petersburg last week. The government shut down the internet due to this meeting, and we totally lost touch with them. But the internet being shut down in a major Russian city to quash any attempt to protest doesn’t even make news anymore.

      I suppose they shut down mobile internet. That doesn’t make news because wire is normal here.

      Also there seem to be tests of DPI and filtering systems now by many ISPs in many places, because apparently Russia is going GFW.
