Russia may introduce fines for attempts to circumvent blockades. This was announced by the founder of the IT company TIQUM, Yuri Gizatullin.
This initiative is related to the Roskomnadzor project, which concerns the procedure for collecting information from telecom operators. This project will allow identifying communication facilities and user equipment by IP address.
The creation of a law on fines is possible, but implementing their collection is unlikely. Many services are used not to circumvent blockades, but to ensure cybersecurity, for example.
The document is aimed at identifying Internet traffic and does not imply the collection of data about users' personal devices. Instead, telecom operators will have to provide information about network addresses.
This approach will allow for more effective control over the use of Internet resources. The introduction of fines for circumventing blockades may become part of a broader strategy to regulate the Internet space in the country.
The State Duma of Russia promised not to fine citizens who use methods to circumvent blockades on the Internet. Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, noted that in practice it is very difficult to draw a clear line between legal and illegal use of such services.
No one planned or is planning to track visits to prohibited resources, introduce fines for this, there is no such issue on the agenda.
