if only there would be some way to find out, like reading the article...


U.S. technology giant Apple has reportedly removed or hidden several Russian-language podcasts produced by independent journalists.

The news outlet Mediazona reported on November 14 that new episodes from the online radio station Ekho Moskvy and investigative outlet The Insider were no longer accessible inside Russia. A BBC Russian Service podcast also appeared to be affected.

Yeah, they should lock them both, just to be on the safe side.

but likely just a useful idiot for the people in charge

that's little bit too harsh. the authors of the article write general news, they do not specialize in technology, and it is pretty clear none of them is gamer (i suspect that telegraph correspondent to united states doesn't have much free time to waste on gaming 😂).

so while that paragraph is stupid to the degree where it is bordering on funny, i am not looking for malicious intent behind it.

This is how modern propaganda works.

maybe it is modern propaganda, maybe the author is just incompetent moron trying to get as much clicks as possible 😔

Discord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.

first of all, admin of some random discord server is something else than discord admin, but that wouldn't give such nice tabloid headline...

You could have seeded nonsense into Google any time in the past nearly 3 decades

We could have, hence why we did.

is this legal in US? that sounds absurd.

and is it legal for a judge to be involved in business?

Oh, I missed that. I am not sure whether it behaves similarly to Google in this.

no. safety of bitcoin is based on cryptography, not lack of electrical power. that would be most bizarre case of security through obscurity.

~~be aware that google results are personalized for you, so that really doesn't say much about what "average user" sees...~~

screenshot is not from google, my bad.

It is not. It is open source, there will be updates when there will be updates, they are not pressured by board of directors to release something that doesn't work.

I suggest checking the discord for more information, including endless stream of screenshots, to get an idea about state of the project.

I have edited the comment above to add link
