Missing from this otherwise excellent overview is the fact that the Russian government has mandated the storage of Russian data on Russian servers, meaning that these Russian Internet companies cannot avail themselves of hosting abroad beyond the reach of Ukrainian drones.

You can't keep using tech platforms run & eidted by authoritarians and expect to combat fascism: "From leaders and policymakers, it means starting to plan your exit from current social media by building up a following elsewhere."
The authoritarians are winning, we can all see that. Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be the worst thing if pro-democracy people stopped being ridiculously naive about social media.
