Game Over
The authorities are passing laws, developing technologies, and creating entire ministries to STOP you from reading the media, Messagging whoever you want, and expressing your opinionS.
Here's what they're trying to take away:
Freedom of information
In free countries:
Lots of media, blogs, social networks.
In countries where the Internet is not free:
Sites are blocked not by the dozens but by the hundreds of thousands. Social media, blogs, and even VPNs are blocked.
Freedom of expression
In free countries:
You can write whatever you want (within the bounds of decency), argue, and look for arguments.
In countries with no freedom of speech:
You can go to jail for speaking out against state policy but also against «values» — or rather, what the state promotes under the guise of values.
Freedom from ideology
In free countries:
The state does not impose its point of view; there are debates on various political and economic topics in society.
In countries with no freedom from propaganda:
Political lessons are taught in schools and universities, and television is so bad that it is better to avoid turning on the TV at all.
How do you avoid the splinternet and get on the free internet, even if the politicians won't let you?
It's still possible. Here are a few tools designed specifically to bypass blocking and censorship.
Ceno Browser
Ceno is a browser for Android. It opens blocked sites without a VPN and works even when Russia is disconnected from the Internet.
Ceno browser uses several network technologies (proxy, BitTorrent) to access blocked sites. In addition, Ceno cooperates with independent media, so you can quickly access the latest information.

Ouisync is an Android app that lets you share files directly from your device. All metadata (file name, size, etc.) is encrypted. So it's safe and secure.
VPN Generator
