Google Play blocks RT and Sputnik’s apps in Europe
The latest of many blocks and restrictions.

Microsoft and Roku removed RT’s apps from their app stores.
Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will include a label on all posts containing URLs from Russian state-backed media.

In case you suddenly wanted to share the news with other concerned parents that the vaccines should not be given to your kids, I’ve got some bad news: your cell phone will block you from texting this information if you’re a T-Mobile customer. That’s right: our cell phone companies now want to decide what we can send to other people.

T-Mobile is blocking some of its customers, including this reporter, from texting a link to an article featuring Robert Malone, the mRNA vaccine pioneer who is critical of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and claims he "almost died" from Moderna's second dose.

This reporter, a T-Mobile customer, texted the WND article to another T-Mobile customer and a Verizon customer to test Malone's claim. Neither received the text with the article link, but they did get texts with the WND.com home page, showing the domain itself is not blocked.

T-Mobile denies that it is blocking anything, of course, but who believes them?

But the reality is that an understanding of this threat is anything but new. And it is the UK which first pioneered the technique of cable-cutting just over a century ago.

At the outbreak of World War One, Britain had the most advanced undersea telegraph cable system. It wrapped around the world, due to the reach of the British Empire. The dominant position offered an opportunity and strategists were determined to make the most of it. But first, German cables had to be dealt with.
