“The network exploded with the news that from March 1, Roskomnadzor will block all VPNs that provide access to prohibited sites. It sounds very strange. The fact is that the RKN is already legally vested with the right to block such services, which happens on a regular basis. Probably, we are talking about a completely different legislative innovation: limiting the search results of those VPNs that violate the law (Do not filter prohibited information). Such an order – in implementation of the law we adopted – is actually being prepared in the RKN. But these, as they say in Odessa, are two big difference.”
Alexander Khinshtein, head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy
