No.1208
As the title says, by Nov. 1 "all software and websites related to circumventing internet filtering in Russia, including VPN software, anonymizers, and instructions on how to circumvent government website blocking" will be derezzed. On 2018 "companies registered in Russia as "organizers of information dissemination", such as online messaging applications, will not be permitted to allow unidentified users".
Severs and ISP providers have this soykaf installed

>recent amendments to the Communications Ministry's “Information Society” program aim to have 99 percent of Russian Internet traffic transferred to within the country's borders by 2020Any russian here? What will these laws bring? What can we do to help people there?
I think a mesh network is pretty doable in Moscow.
No.1213
Coming Soon to USA!
No.1217
>>1208> What will these laws bring?Whitelists for any "external" internet by default.
> What can we do to help people there?I wish I could tell you, but they might send me to gulag, so…
> I think a mesh network is pretty doable in Moscow.They can't actually stop any anonymous activity inside the coutry. But the can sever an access to anything they don't like.
No.1218
>>1217So it's basically like China's Great Firewall, all non-domestic connections fall under close scrutiny?
No.1220
Being realistic won't the Russian people be better off without having outside influence? Think of how cancerous American media and culture is.
No.1222
>>1218the sad part is most people would be fine with just domestic sites / a few whitelisted american sites
vk & yandex capture almost as huge a % of traffic over there as fb/google do in 1st world
No.1224
>>1208Well there goes my dream NEETing it up in my home country after making enough brozouf in the west
No.1229
I feel like Russia's firewall will be really soykaf compared to China's.
No.1234
>>1224Maybe you should study history of computing in the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc. Maybe you can see the unique innovations, virus writings and clones of popular western computers.
They went off on a different tangent. It might be interesting to see the devolpments in this alternate world.
Maybe progress will happen there.
No.1244
>>1234Huh, well there's the silver lining. Thanks Lain.

>I think a mesh network is pretty doable in Moscow.
How do you actually imagine that to be? This is not some hippy euro country where you can set up laser transponders, install gsm cells or make long range wifi bridges without raising suspicion from commoners, federal radio committee, police and military
>oi blyat marivanna, vladimir is setting up antennas on our commieblock roof, must be a western spy!
There is a loophole in law however, using circumvention tools to access means of labor by employees is not prohibited. This basically means you can access foreign servers through tunelling protocols especially if your employer is a foreign company
This law still carries no prosecution for users as I remember, only domain/ip blocking for said circumvention services and the second law about messaging services that states that messaging apps should not violate your confidentiality without court order (they actually follow constitution, how cute)
>they don't know that xmpp and tox exist
And finally according to OONI most ISPs (Rostelecom puppets mostly) filter traffic with squid proxy giving placeholder page on blocked domains, so no DPI and GFW soykaf YET so far, but the narration implies it and SORM developers actually know their soykaf and will deliver soon.
tl;dr will code for food and vpn pls hire me
for all russlains: use tor with obfuscated bridges, don't use telegram and watsapp or anything that asks for your phone number for private chatting, install xmpp client that supports OTR or OMEMO, connect through foreign servers, it's really easy, like creating a email account.
