Lol some (admittedly genius level probably) teenage kid can figure this shit out but the governments of other countries couldn’t? Wtf.
Hire this guy.
Banned from russia? Sounds like a good time.
Makes me wonder if this happens often. Like if I accuse Luis Abinader of corruption will they ban me from the Dominican Republic and their shitty resorts?
What a coincidence. It’s Browder’s son. Why wouldn’t the Russians like that family, I wonder?
This seems like one of those articles placed in the news for the purpose of reminding people about the events which led to the Magnitsky Scandal.
It’s also likely that the son didn’t perform this work alone or had it done under his name to get a response from the Russian government and get the article written.
I can never access the no paywall links for some reason.
i use the ByPassPaywallClean plugin for FF (on android and desktop)
VPN? Unless you have the direct link to the archived page, you probably need to disable your VPN to view it.
I think the archive sites were getting DDOS attacks and the owner blocked VPNs.
For the archived link to this article: https://archive.ph/20260604102723/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/04/british-teenager-sanctioned-by-russia/
I just accessed the archive link using a VPN, so it’s not that. There was an annoying recaptcha interstitial, but that was the only issue.
You can access the archived links with a VPN, once they are archived. But you can’t archive it with VPN on.
Ah, got it.
I’ve now tested archiving via VPN and can confirm that you end up with an endless “loading” spinner.
Thanks for the info. I have so many layers of VPN im my own worst nightmare
NP. There are other sites like ghostarchive.org but I think that brings with it paywalls on most, if not all sites.
Sometimes you can get lucky on removepaywalls.com using the options on the top of the page (numbers 1-6) or for example using archive.fo instead of archive.ph or archive.is and vice versa etc.
But mostly it seems to be blocked or pot luck.
Lemmy is great because you keep running into people like you who dump all sorts of tips and tricks like this
