Η Russia announced that it had successfully tested Runet, its own autonomous "response" to the global Internet.
ΔThere are not many details about the test, but according to the country's Ministry of Communications, users did not notice any change, and the results will be reported to President Putin.
Some experts are concerned about the tendency of some countries to "become independent" from the international Internet, creating their own alternative networks, which gradually leads to the disintegration of the single internet.
«Increasingly, authoritarian countries that want to control what their citizens see are following in the footsteps of Iran and China. This means that people will not have access to dialogue about what is happening in their country and will remain in their own bubble.Said Professor Alan Woodward of the British University of Surrey, according to the BBC.
«The idea is that the internet in Russia will be connected to the rest of the world only in a few specific areas, over which the government will exercise control. This will essentially force Internet service providers and telecommunications companies to shape the Internet within their borders, like a giant internal network of a large company.", He added.
The Russian agency Tass reported that the tests assessed the vulnerability of its devices "internet of thingsAnd Runet's ability to withstandnegative external influences».
Russia also has plans to create its own Wikipedia encyclopedia and has passed a law banning the sale of "smart" cell phones that do not have Russian software pre-installed. It also plans to develop alternative Google and Facebook services in the future.
