This is a 4-panel edited meme featuring Homer Simpson from the animated series *The Simpsons*. In the first panel, Homer wears a shirt printed with the United Kingdom Union Jack flag, standing in front of a tall green hedge. In the second panel, Homer hides partially inside the hedge, with the word 'VPN' printed on the hedge's surface. In the third panel, only Homer's wide eyes are visible peeking through a small hole in the hedge, with the 'VPN' text still visible on the hedge. In the fourth and final panel, Homer emerges on the other side of the hedge now wearing a shirt printed with the Russian national flag, maintaining his neutral blank expression. The joke conveys that using a VPN allows users to bypass geographic restrictions or censorship, effectively changing their apparent online location from the UK to Russia to avoid blocks.

This is a text-only screenshot containing a warning message about impending harsh internet restrictions in Russia.

It ends with a somber goodbye line, conveying a sense of finality and loss over the end of unrestricted open internet access in the country.

This reaction meme features a real man leaning on an outdoor railing, looking over his shoulder with a wary, skeptical expression. Overlaid text satirizes online censorship by drawing parallels to George Orwell's dystopian novel *1984*:
> I bring a sort of "this kinda looks like 1984" Vibe to The Party that The Thought Police of the internet don't really like
The joke frames online moderators or censorship efforts as the "Thought Police" from *1984*, mocking the idea that users who point out dystopian parallels in online culture are targeted. The man's cautious posture reinforces the feeling of being watched or at risk for sharing this perspective.

A meme featuring a brick wall background with a window. A person in the window appears worried, thinking to themselves, 'Hmm maybe I shouldn't post this offensive meme. I could be prosecuted in the future.' Below the window, a van labeled 'NEW WORLD ORDER SERVICES' is driven by a green animated character, suggesting themes of surveillance or censorship of online content. The title 'Resist and disorder!' plays on the phrase 'law and order,' implying resistance against perceived overreach.

A two-panel meme depicting a subway scene. The left panel shows a person in a red hoodie standing in the aisle, while another individual sits and looks at a phone. The right panel features the same red hoodie person, with a different seated passenger who has their legs propped up. Overlaid text at the top reads: 'Just a reminder that NO-ONE outside of Twitter & 9gag saw any of these photos.' Text at the bottom states: 'They were sitewide banned on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and every TV & internet news site.' The meme humorously suggests the photos are exclusive to Twitter/X and 9gag due to being banned elsewhere.
