Tutoring Depression Rule (sh.itjust.works)

I earn a little spare cash as an English tutor over the Internet. My student is a little girl in Russia. During today's lesson she asked me if YouTube isn't working my country either. She said that people are trying to make RuTube to replace it.

I can't explain to her why it doesn't work for her but works for me. Either I must lie or break the law.

Kids are naive and innocent. It breaks the heart.

Why is you explaining it breaking the law? Can you not mention sanctions either? RuTube is also already a thing, it started in like the earlu 2000s during the brief Russian tech boom, alongside VK, LiveJournal, Ozon, avito, mail dot ru and Ramblr which were all the same thing - copy of a western site with some changes.

The cause of the YouTube block is that it blocks Russian state outlets. That is obviously going to prompt the question of why it did that.

"Bad relations" is how you can put it and just shut down further questions.

Fair. Thank you!
