Russia is separating itself from the internet

[Bapun]

• Russia's "sovereign internet" law went into effect on Friday.
• The law tightens Moscow's control over the country's internet infrastructure and aims to provide a way for Russia to disconnect its networks from the rest of the world.
• Experts doubt whether such a move is technically possible.

Russia just brought in a law to try to disconnect its internet from the rest of the world

good for them. China did the same thing and they have now some of the world's largest companies like Alibaba, Baidu, Tancent etc. Cutting of connection with West is not a bad thing. But they should upheld their F rights like freedom of speech etc.

Bad for them. When Republican moves out of White House. The sanctions they would be getting would be unbelievable.

You said it! Sanctions! That's the reason everyone is preparing their independent network. And we should do the same. independent from US. So that in time of sanction like in the year 1999, we will have a back up option. Visa/ Master card case for Russia in 2012 is a good example of how US sanction can stop the financial activities.

Bigger questions. Can Russia afford anymore sanctions?

Separating yourself from rest of the world is not a solution for any problem. If China had free internet then result of Hong Kong Protest would have been entirely different. Censorship is good for no one it is used to manipulate common people and suppress their voice.
