Russian Senator Calls For Chinese-Style Internet Firewall
It will be necessary to create in Russia something akin to the “Chinese firewall” if the laws currently in place continue to be ignored, Senator Artem Sheikin said in an interview with Ria Novosti.
Citing “unprecedented pressure from Western countries” and their “clearly unfriendly policies,” Sheikin, who sits on the constitutional committee of the Federation Council, suggested that access to “unwanted internet resources, including through VPN services” must be blocked entirely within the country with no ability to circumvent the ban.
As an example of the threat posed by the West, the senator pointed to Wikipedia, which he said has now become an “information weapon” in the hands of Western governments that have “deliberately distorted” many historical and political facts related to Russia.
