A few hours ago Binance, the largest exchange platform has been blacklisted by Roskomnadzor (Russian telecom regulator) on the grounds that the exchange is "disseminating prohibited information".

To this extent the real reasons behind this remain unknown. Is this a new attempt to cripple blockchain and its descendant coins?
What are your thoughts?

I'm actually more interested in what this "prohibited information" was. If a State wants to ban something, it must be good. Lets not forget the Chinese are as bad or worse than Russians in this field, so its not like a Russian exchange can go to China and criticize the gov, it would get the same treatment or worse.

Most of the countries in the world, especially the large and powerful, do not want people freely expressing themselves, they consider it a threat to "national security" (its actually a threat to the State).

The UN might consider freedom of though to be a human right, but reality is much different, and not just in "those" countries...

The people, the masses have only one enemy: Their own State that oppresses them. Rarely its a foreign State, but usually its their own.
