The Russian government is increasingly limiting online access by removing VPNs from app stores, as mandated by Roskomnadzor. This crackdown affects about 25% of Russians who use VPNs to evade internet censorship. Over 50 VPNs are reportedly blocked, signaling a broader trend towards digital restrictions aimed at curbing dissent and controlling information. This systematic removal reflects a deliberate strategy to disconnect citizens from uncensored communication resources, raising alarms about the erosion of digital freedoms in Russia.
Russia's increasing push to remove VPN apps from major app stores is part of a coordinated strategy to cut citizens off from uncensored information and secure communication tools.
Last week, Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet authority, ordered three major app stores to remove virtual private networks (VPNs) from public availability.
