Re:Oh, hi there, Mister Black Hole? (Score 2)

so, i think i agree with the black hole sentiment.

how many .ru domains are there that make a living (both legal and illegal) off search results? how many "fake news" sites are there that originate in russia? how many email spammers live in russia? how many apps in the google play store originate in russia?

if suddenly nobody can find any product or service that has an ip address in russia? if all of a sudden the largest email provider (currently with a billion users) blocks everything from russia? what happens if all of a sudden all the android phones (66% of the worldwide marketshare) suddenly stop working with russia-originating software?

it's pretty terrifying, personally, to think about the massive power google wields. especially for a nation that relies so heavily on spreading internet propaganda.
