The #Yandex strike exposed Runet’s Achilles’ heel: years of centralization left much of Russia’s internet dependent on roughly a dozen data centers in European Russia – all within drone range. Moving abroad isn't easy either – Russian laws 152-FZ and 187-FZ restrict foreign hosting.

"With #Yandex data centers under constant attack, I’m starting to worry that the White House will issue yet another demand to stop the strikes. After all, it would be a tragedy if Russia’s valuable bot traffic dried up just before the midterms." @tatarigami.bsky.social
