Russia to double spending on internet blocking and filtering
Original: Russia to double spending on internet traffic blocking and filtering
Russia plans to double its spending on blocking and filtering internet traffic, according to a report by Meduza. The increase would expand the state's capacity to restrict access to websites and online services. The move comes as Russian authorities continue tightening controls over the country's internet infrastructure, a policy observers widely see as part of broader censorship efforts.
Why now: New reporting reveals a significant increase in Russia's budget for censoring online traffic, drawing attention amid ongoing concerns about internet freedom.
