Are VPNs, Tor, I2P and/or Freenet censored or throttled?

Sup! VPNs are very carefully blocked recently. Tor has long been locking, but for its use we connect bridges. I2P is not blocked in any way, because it is technically impossible to block it.

I have few

  1. Are the human rights really as bad as western news make it out to be?
  2. Are Russians (the people) as anti-LGBT as we are told on the west?
  3. Is there general fear for conscription/getting conscripted?
  4. Lastly, what is Putin's real approval from your experience? Are people as pro-Putin as we are told or is it just massively inflated?

Thank you

Sup!

  1. No. Rather, not quite. Due to the harsh mentality, the police may be dangerous to exceed their powers. But if they see "easy prey", then you can expect anything.
  2. Maybe you heard, we introduced a law on the ban on propaganda of LGBT. The new generation is not against the LGBT movement, rather it doesn’t matter to them, or they are its participants themselves. And the older generation is almost always against.
  3. As I understand it, you had a call for war (I could be wrong because of a machine translation). Yes, it is clearly.
  4. Most Russian people play for Russia, but not for Putin. Thank you for your questions! I was glad to answer!

Cool, nice to hear that Russia has not blocked I2P, I expect that with just 100 or so malicious routers they would be able to get the IP's of most of the network to block them. I have a couple of questions too:

  1. Do you believe that Russia may have a revolution sometime soon with people fighting for better personal liberties and minimal government?
  2. Does Russian media victimize Russia and portray the rest of the world, primarily the USA to be aggressive to Russia to fuel a stronger national identity (not saying that the US is not aggressive to Russia. Hopefully that will change with Trump) and get Russians fighting for the motherland?

  1. What do Russians think of (anti-Ukraine war) Americans? That is, the people who want it to be quickly resolved so we can dig ourselves out of debt?
  2. How religious is Russia? And what do they think of the secular societies of the western nations?
  3. Is western literature and media heavily censored?
  4. My friend's mom was Russian, and she said that they had to forage for food when she was young. How applicable is that to the general (Soviet-era) Russian population? Was there a lot of scarcity?
  5. How is personal liberty there? Certain things that are guaranteed in the US Constitution, such as the 4th amendment (freedom from illegal search and seizure), the 2nd amendment (the right of the people to keep and bear arms), the 1st amendment (freedom of speech), aren't available there. Are those prohibitions nominal? Could someone "get away" with exercising any of those rights, or would it be certain to lead to penalties?

And yes, I know that I mostly echoed the guy below me.

What do you think about raising Novgorod from the ashes of history and put an end to the Tsar tyranny once and for all? Do you think Russian citizens could in secret build the much needed institutions and powers while still under the yoke of the current mongol absolutist power structure? Maybe over i2p? It's clear that killing Putin won't be enough.
