As I understand it, our "friends" come from "bile". This is not constructive.
You probably don't understand that all these problems will soon surface IN ALL countries. As tensions in the relationship and the crisis increase, the desire to filter content by the authorities will grow rapidly. By the way, this has already begun in the EU, does no one see it?
We live and work part time in Armenia, which IP spaces more and more european IT entities tend to block, because they find it on some list of "countries of risk of breaking sanctions" (as often some GO or "NGO" "recommends" them, because (like georgia and several other small (former soviet) countries), armenia is economically not able to fullfill the sanction wishes of the EU etc. because of huge bilateral dependencies (many armenians work/live in russia and since siviet times near the whole energy supply comes from russia). So unfortunately, at least a growing "political" geoblocking is reality today and should at least be taken into account by RIPEs operations (i.e. by contractual elements which guarantee no geoblocking in the whole RIPE area or similiar and/or fallbacks against sanctions in a part of the RIPE service area). RIPE should act as far as possible agnostic to any politics stuf in parts of the service area (at least i hope this is still in mind at RIPE ß). cheers, niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet https://www.syndicat.com Syndicat.am https://syndicat.am PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
