Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new law that will enable pirate mirror, proxy and other derivative sites to be blocked quickly by ISPs. Sites will be approved for blocking by the government and the local telecoms watchdog, and ISPs will be given 24 hours to block all access. Search engines will also be compelled to remove all variants from results.

    You do it by communicating openly only at random times for random IP-addresses. And by require people to first join a less privileged social circle where they have to prove their worth to advance to the next more connected circle. Just like people climb the ladder in corporations.
