"We Ain't Gonna Take It": Russians Finally Confronted Putin About Internet Shutdown - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

Russians are finally pushing back against Putin’s digital control. “WE HAD ENOUGH” isn’t just a phrase — it’s the new reality inside Russia as people revolt against constant internet shutdowns, censorship, and “white lists” that turn the web into a prison. Putin’s so-called “digital sovereignty” is collapsing under its own weight. After 15 years of failed attempts to control the web, from blocking YouTube and Telegram to promoting dead platforms like MAX, the Kremlin now faces a nation that simply refuses to disconnect.

This video exposes how the government’s obsession with control backfired — how every new restriction only fuels rebellion, and how VPNs have become Russia’s underground lifeline. From students and teachers to retirees and soldiers’ families, millions are fighting back against a system that’s trying to erase their online world. The “Runet” fantasy has turned into a national joke, and even loyalists are breaking their own laws to stay connected.

Watch as we break down the Kremlin’s digital war against its own people — how it started, why it failed, and why this time, Russians aren’t staying silent.
