Russia Blocks Discord Over Legal Violations
(www.devdiscourse.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Sorry if I've missed something obvious, but how does Discord being legal or not in any way influence conscription policies which ALREADY carried join-or-go-to-jail, enforced by the people who have the guns?
Like, I'm not seeing the relationship.
The mandatory conscription for men age 18-30 only lasts one year. This can force them back into military service and be used to enhance selective enforcement against dissidents.
Ah that makes a lot more sense: I had just assumed conscription was quite a lot longer than just a year for some reason.
It's certainly a good target if you wanted to criminalize the group of people you want to conscript since the overlap is probably pretty much 100%.
They let criminals out of jail and send them to the meat grinder
