PoliticsRussia plans to double spending on internet traffic blocking and filtering
Russia plans to spend nearly 60 billion rubles over the next three years on systems that filter and block internet resources, up from 32 billion rubles in an earlier plan, according to a budget appendix reviewed by Forbes Russia. Experts attribute the increase to rising equipment prices, growing traffic, sanctions restricting imported components, and the system’s expanding reach. More funding could also be needed if the filtering equipment adopts AI.
