PoliticsRussia proposes tighter internet controls under anti-fraud plan

Russia’s Digital Development Ministry has published proposals for a third anti-fraud package that could significantly tighten internet controls. The measures would create a registry of people using Russian hosting resources for proxy or VPN services that bypass censorship, bar them from new hosting contracts for a year, require companies to report such VPN use to Roskomnadzor, and allow security agencies to request that hosting providers cut off resources when needed to counter cyberattacks.
