The court order was issued a few hours ago, they will block it shortly.

I would question that. Rutracker is supposed to be blocked by order of Roskomnadzor, but many isps here still are able to reach it. This happened almost a year ago so it's not a matter of propagation, it's just poor or lack of enforcement.

Telegram is also exceptionally popular here, so I have trouble believing it will stick or do anything in the first place.

Well, it's blocked by all the ISPs I have in any place. Generally Telegram will be blocked, and which is more imprortant, they will likely remove it from the app stores in Russia.

Still unblocked for me, but got the VPN at the ready... Removal from the app stores would be much more effective, at least on iOS.

I doubt because every ISP must install a special hardware (Revizor) manufactured by Roskomnadzor, which constantly checks blocked resources inside ISP network. If you don't block all the resources you will get fined. And there is a huge fine if you will try to trick this system.

Blocking rules are not perfect. For example, DNS resolution is done by Roskomnadzor and the lists are not updated instantly (usually they are updated daily or several times a day). If you change your IP address faster than lists are updated, blocking effectively doesn't work.

Yeah, sure. _will_ is the keyword.

It could take years to trully cover all ISPs. Like it was with rutracker.

And then LinkedIn is blocked for a long time now but I get new job opportunities through it quite often. Sometimes w/o turning VPN on.
