Just have to wonder how long before their operations fully crumble or receive a complete and total restructuring.

If a notable chunk of the userbase of everything in English just finds it not worth visiting a lot of sites, this'd probably be the cause.

You were under any impression he'd veto it? Its one of those things that's been universally hated but supported because of business connections.

Unfortunately, yes. I had impressions, however little, he would want to keep his businesses private.

And of course, it's in Australia !
This is what I like about scientists, they study everything and anything, and come up with answers to questions we didn't necessarily have. V. interesting read.

Bizarrely enough,there is a court case going on RIGHT now in Russia involving Jehovah's Witnesses, another group that was imprisoned in the same camps in Germany. They were also banned in 1940s Russia and sentenced to Siberia, where they were not released until the 90s and many given full pardons by the Russian government.
Oddly enough, despite having been banned and pardoned once now, it looks like Russia wants to do it again.
Basically freedom of sexuality and freedom of religion are both under assault in Russia as we speak.
