Tools behind Belarus internet censorship potentially revealed:
According to a Bloomberg report, the technology used to block much of the internet access during the recent presidential elections in Belarus has come from a US-based company.
The report states that Sandvine Inc., had supplied the necessary equipment to the Lukashenko government a few months earlier through an intermediary.
On August 9, Belarus held the presidential elections where Alexander Lukashenko was elected for the sixth consecutive time. However, the Election Day was marked by irregularities that cast doubt on the transparency of the elections.
In addition to the barricades built by security forces that prevented the passage of civilians to Minsk, Belarus' capital, the internet services in the country had a major disruption that affected access to websites such as social networks, news pages, and messaging applications.
The disruption lasted for up to three days, and there are still websites that are inaccessible in a normal way, so citizens need to use tools such as VPNs or specialized browsers.
[...] This would not be the first time the technology has been accused of being used to repress a nation. Citizen Lab, a Toronto security firm, had indicated that in 2018 equipment from this manufacturer was used in internet blocks that occurred in Egypt and Turkey. Sandvine Inc. said this investigation was false.

Not sure what the denial is supposed to be about, just not interested in what you had to say after skimming the first sentence of your ramble, so I didn't read the rest. Pretty sure you actually said nothing though, but just used a lot of words to do it.

Well, obviously you read it if you spent the time to tell me it was nothing.
Whatever, peace out

Telling you is a fun thing to do on the toilet. It's what I imagine I would tell Trump or Bernie after their long speech - btw, I wasn't listening to that pile of retardation. It gives me pleasure to do that. I can enjoy telling you I didn't read it for hours (a poop after a meaty meal and not enough water. Still not worth 10 seconds for me to read it. Mr Sherlock Holmes of deduction we got over here.

I did. I especially like getting the butthole nice and clean. You get the wet-nap and just press nice and hard in a circular motion for a minute or two. To get it even cleaner, you can sit on the edge of the bathtub and aim the hand shower on pulse right up there. Gotta get it clean. So the house-nigger's dick doesn't get shit on it.
