Russia to ‘leave’ the internet?

Posted by: admin , September 21, 2014

The Kremlin has indicated that Russia may ‘leave’ the global internet to protect itself from perceived threats from the West.
Claims that such a move is aimed at isolating the Russian internet were dismissed on the basis that the Kremlin is merely concerned with protecting its national security in the event of an emergency.
The proposal comes off recent events in which relations with the West have dropped to their lowest levels since the Cold War, thus the move to protect Russia from spying.
If implemented, the .ru domain could be controlled by the state.
