@TehBamski While it’s hackers doing the job, someone clearly paid them, so the title should he “Governments/Agencies are destroying the internet’s history book right now”
Please expand, what do you know about the motives?
@threeganzi We can only speculate for now.
The timezone of the attack suggests it has been started by russians, while in the video the Arabic subs go from left to right, instead of from right to left.
The “pro-palestinian” thing looks like a way to misguide towards the real intentions.
Removing parts of internet that are dangerous for oligarchs/dictators sounds about right, especially if you need to remove specific news.
The timing is also suspicious, US elections and Putin losing credibility.
Sure, those are probably reasonable speculations, but your suggested title was very absolute. Hence I was wondering if you had more concrete reasons to suggest that title.
