The Ministry of Digital Development is considering introducing a limit on foreign traffic for Russians. Forbes The Ministry for Digital Development continues to discuss the reform project in the communications industry. As part of it, a proposal was made to give the department the right to limit all traffic from foreign domains for Russian users above a certain limit, three sources told Forbes. The size of the limit has not yet been determined. In addition, the document proposes to include a requirement to transfer all foreign traffic through TSPU - technical measures to prevent threats installed in operators' networks. The Ministry for Digital Development stated that these issues are "currently being examined", but "it is too early to talk about which of them and in what form they will be included in the final version of the amendments". Experts interviewed by journalists point out that a significant part of the Russians' foreign traffic probably consists of means to bypass "slowing down" and blocking of YouTube and other services (though not only).
