Freedom internet provider on the difficulty of blocking Russian state media sites. - there is a court order to block sanctioned websites - however there is no official list of sanctioned websites - there are several lists from different MS and branche organisations with suggested sites, but this is never an official list or effort. - one of those lists, the one from Lithuania contains sites that are clearly not Russian state media (an Indian social media platform, and a generic video sharing site)

During wave of protests in Iran, #2026/01/08 evening a national internet blackout is in progress.

A proposal to revive short wave radio, esp to overcome splinternet and internet blocking conditions. Mentions radio transmitted text. Mentioning ham transceivers capable of this. Seems a suggestion, of which none of the parts currently are in place (not broadcasters, not equipment, not antennaparks (RNWO shut down their stuff in 2012, since then a tiny part goes on internet only), not receivers. Interesting though, re #2025/03/23 Ius Winterwandeling dinner conversation on SSB.
