CZ.NIC, the association managing the #Czech #domain registry just removed .CZ domains of several websites spreading Russian #propaganda.
Without any judicial decision. Just because the government and security agencies asked. That's a slippery slope and not the right way to fight #disinformation, sorry.

I see it the same way. I am glad that they are gone, it is a strong gesture, but I don't like the way it is performed. 🤔

Actually I have very mixed feelings about this. I don't like cz.nic starting to do a censorship of any kind, but unlike russian killing UA people, this is reversible. 🤔

Right? Also, they may be gone from the .CZ registry, but will be still accessible, can continue under different domains etc.
