Russia to double internet blocking spending
Original: интернет
Russia will allocate 60 billion rubles over the next three years to internet blocking measures, effectively doubling spending on restricting online access. The funding increase signals a continued expansion of the state's technical capacity to limit or throttle websites and services deemed undesirable, drawing attention from Russian internet users already concerned about growing online restrictions and censorship.
Why now: A large increase in state spending on internet restrictions directly affects Russian internet users, sparking concern and discussion.
