Russia just went full blackout mode on Snapchat. The entire country can't access it anymore. Another reminder why decentralized communication matters? When central authorities flip a switch, your apps vanish. Makes you think about platform dependency.

Take a look, that's how centralized platforms are—everything can be gone with just one order. Should've been playing with decentralized stuff long ago.

ngl this is exactly why I've been accumulating coins... If a centralized platform goes down, your assets are gone. It's terrifying.

Russia just outright banned Snapchat—this is exactly the fatal flaw of centralization. All these guys are relying on their user base, but with a single ban, it’s all gone—worse than rug-pulling. That’s why I’ve always advocated for on-chain freedom; truly decentralized communication is the way to go.

Ha, Web3 really isn't just hype. This is how centralized platforms are—one word from the government and it's all over.

NGL, this is exactly why I would never go all-in on Web2 platforms... Russia just cut off the internet like that, and so many people's social accounts instantly became useless. This is the biggest flaw of centralization: the power of life and death is in someone else's hands.

ngl this is exactly why I keep saying centralized platforms are ticking time bombs... Russia just taught everyone a lesson with this move.
