“We spent months digging through a 700 gigabyte cache from within Russia's de facto internet intel agency Roskomnadzor. It gave us one of the most complete pictures yet of Putin's efforts to control the internet. It is at turns farcical and terrifying.” [The New York Times] https://archive.ph/3AXyF
