    Would it not be relatively simple to create a browser add-on that warns when people visit one of the sites that are known to be under Moscows control?

      People would have to 1. know about 2. install it 3. trust it to be factual (impossible)

      The people who need this kind of handholding in their media consumption would fail at step 1 and 2

      Step 3 is the biggest issue because any system that acts as a “censor” is always going to be the first target for corruption and undermining through governments

      Youtube does this with their little “funded by government of X” banners but that just mean you outsource trust to google, which is obviously a braindead thing to do.
