Stupid bastards: They can't hang this stupid decision on "The West"

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Russians will be prohibited from registering on domestic websites using Gmail.

User authorization on domestic websites must be strictly done using Russian phone numbers, Gosuslugi (State Services), biometrics, or another system owned by a Russian citizen or a Russian legal entity. If a website owner allows registration using a foreign email address, such as Gmail, they face a fine of 700,000 rubles.

State Duma deputies passed this bill on administrative fines in both its second and third readings.

P.S. Personally, I stopped using it in early 2022. But there is some good news. The kids have been whining, and the Ministry of Digital Development and Roskomnadzor (Roskomnadzor) have announced that they are not opposed to unblocking Roblox in Russia.
