How will the situation in Ukraine on the internet business?

[Roman Almazov]

I as a participant in the struggle against the regime, interested in your opinion about what can happen on the Internet? Putin wants to set Chechnya have already sent troops to the Crimea. Who thinks that? Thank you.

I’m not totally sure what you’re asking.

The situation in Ukraine. What do you think about this?

[nixnerd]

As it pertains to your Internet freedom?

I think you’ll find that most people in the West are sympathetic to your struggle.

Wait! There’s a situation in Ukraine?

I admit to being uninformed enough to not have an opinion other than struggles against oppression are a good thing.

I don’t read the news….it depresses me.

Wait! There’s a situation in Ukraine?

Ha ha ha. Don’t mind him. He codes under a rock.

Yeah… you won’t find many sympathizers with Russia in the West. On top of that… we’re pretty much always pro-liberty.

Although, I’m still confused on what your exact question is. Are you asking how this will affect Internet freedom? Are you wondering how to use the Internet to mobilize the way Egypt did?

@Roman Almazov

In trying to understand the current ‘struggle against the regime’ in Ukraine, in relation to history (and also in relation to the history there with Russia), can you as a ‘participant’ shed some light on the bigger (geo-political) picture? Ukraine’s democratic attempts are still very young, but so is Russia’s, and this will take a lot of time and effort, and presumably Ukraine is very important to Russia for it’s place on the map and resources and, … let me stop here, don’t know what I’m going on about. Good luck of course.

Russia sent troops in our area. We will defend our land, we often turn off the internet. Emergency.

Godspeed sir.
