If you are in Russia, things are not looking good for Internet freedom. Around the world, the Internet is censored with giant projects such as "Golden Shield Project" of China who use techniques such as deep packet inspection to block websites and monitor user traffic on a massive scale.
We covered our thoughts on Russia plans to build their firewall in early May, and now it seems that these regulations and intentions are devastating fruits now in the middle of 2016. A project of mass surveillance law is becoming law in Russia.
the new law is disguised as an act of "fight against terrorism" -like censorship laws too far hiding. This law is the same way that Chinese users can not access YouTube or Twitter, because it could be too dangerous.
The law includes an extensive data collection program that gives Russian telecommunications and Internet companies the ability to record communications with clients for six months. To do this, the Russian government would spend more billion. Russian Internet based companies will also provide backdoor access for Russian spy agencies.
The new law passed with flying colors achieving 277 votes against 148 against. It is now moving to the Russian Federal Council and the Kremlin where he is expected to pass.
services like WhatsApp, Viber and even Telegram were called by legislators, and any service that refuses to give personal information and data in Russia could be subject to fines for non-compliance to 15,000 $.
Not only that, but the prison face of Internet offenders who are guilty of "incitement to terrorism on social media" will go to prison up to seven years. In addition, the authorities not to inform on terrorism may itself be a criminal offense to a potential sentence of up to two years. the final straw is that you can not preach religion without permission of the State.
While the law invades personal freedom and limit the Internet and freedom of expression in a horrible way, the entire legislation and backdoor approach is a cyber security breach . Giving exclusive access to encrypted data leaves the data vulnerable to hackers around the world.
to preserve your freedom and Internet data in Russia, you must ensure that you use a virtual private network as TorGuard. TorGuard VPN sends your traffic through a secure virtual tunnel that encrypts your data and change your IP address so you can unlock geographical restrictions apply as Russia and keep your data safe from hackers, government, and even suppliers Internet services.
