Russia builds kill-switch internet system - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

Russia is rapidly escalating its control over the Internet – but the official explanation doesn’t add up. Under the pretext of Ukrainian drone threats, the Kremlin is rolling out blackouts, blocking apps, and testing “white list” systems that restrict what users can access. Experts say this is part of a long-term strategy to dominate the digital space and prevent unrest before it even begins. The approach appears heavily influenced by Iran’s recent Internet shutdowns, and fears sparked by targeted killings of Iranian officials.
