To be fair, in some Russian regions you cannot access even most Russian sites from mobile (we have whitelist mode). Also, not everyone, but some people started using VPN after Instagram ban, and even more after Youtube ban. Like drug addicts who cannot drop their habits.
But it's not about reciprocity if you're truly committed to free speech right?
The first amendment isn't a suicide pact, and foreign corporations were never covered by it.
It's not a 'suicide pact', it's a clear commitment that the government will not ban speech it finds inconvenient.
It's not done a great job of living up to that promise.
Americans still have free speech. There are many other platforms to use. Foreign governments never have had free speech rights and I doubt most people support them having those rights.

That will promptly proceed to bury whatever the government tells them to bury.
