Russians will be able to ban international calls themselves.
The measure will enter into force on March 1, 2027, said Anton Namkin, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Digital Development and Artificial Intelligence.
According to him, the decision will be made by the subscriber himself.
"This is not a complete ban on international communication, but an additional opportunity for those who do not need such conversations," said the lieutenant.
Namkin noted that the procedure for adding and removing restrictions should be as simple as possible so that the tool is accessible to people with different levels of digital literacy.
He added that self-banning would be useful for those who frequently encounter scammers. At the same time, the measure will not rule out possible fraud, since fraudsters also use Russian numbers.
Would you impose such a self-ban on yourself? — /.
