Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Russian-language satire of internet censorship, dressed up as a government portal with fake service statuses, a loyalty CAPTCHA, and a protocol quiz.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-07 issue.

For: Readers of Russian internet-censorship satire
Worth noticing: A loyalty CAPTCHA offers nine mock technical excuses for YouTube slowdown, then claims a suspiciously fast click triggers 48-hour manual review.

Field notes

The portal borrows the structure and officialese of public services: a blocking registry, status notices, a reason-finder, a loyalty check, and a protocol quiz. Its displayed figures include 14,867 blocked resources and a claimed 48-hour review for suspiciously quick CAPTCHA responses. The status board labels Telegram “restricted” and a recipe site a state threat, while the quiz turns censorship terminology into personality-test answers.
