What the hell is this nonsense?

The #Kremlin is preparing #Russia for life without #Internet: shutdowns and restrictions

This is #propaganda on a kid's TV show trying to sell it as a good thing

It's about control of course

Those of us terminally online can appreciate being away from the Internet as beneficial... as a personal choice

But as an imposed #authoritarian prelude to your country becoming #NorthKorea?

Not so much
