Dove a bit into this topic superficially out of curiosity. Maybe not shut it down but greatly limit reach:

- Domain Name Seizures via ICANN and registrars

- Political/legal pressure on CDNs, SSL certificate providers, bandwidth providers.

- Propaganda and legal labeling ("malicious actor", "foreign agent", "terrorist")

- There are technical workarounds to keep the page up within Russia's sovereign internet (Runet).

Other than labeling, aren't these just different ways to block foreign sites? Some of them are mentioned in the article.

> This blocking regulation requires network providers, including CDNs, to comply with blocking notices within 30 minutes.

> orders that go beyond regular Internet providers, requiring DNS resolvers and VPN services to take action as well.
