‼️#Russia has blocked @googledocs, to prevent voters from accessing the opposition’s “Smart Voting” lists of candidates ahead of this weekend’s parliamentary elections. The system was designed to defeat Putin’s ruling party. It’s what @Navalny was promoting when he was poisoned.

@googledocs @navalny Russian courts blocked @Navalny's Smart Voting website as “extremist” & ordered Google & Yandex not to display search results for “Smart Voting”
Police visited office of Google’s Russian subsidiary to “enforce” the order.
FM spox claims the app’s developers have Pentagon links.

@googledocs @navalny As if that weren't enough to keep people from using Smart Voting in Russia's elections, the Kremlin has a proxy backup threat: a wool dealer registered a “Smart Voting” brand name w/ a logo that resembles the Navalny app icon. So anyone using it can go to jail for 6 years.😨
