The popular internet service has been banned in Russia.

The dictatorial regime of Vladimir Putin continues to ban popular internet resources. The latest victim of Roskomnadzor is the internet speed measurement service.

Kremlin's Internet Bans

The Russian authorities, in their struggle for complete dominance over their society in the online space, resort to completely absurd decisions.

After a bunch of 'harmful' websites were banned, after the Kremlin effectively banned (under the guise of 'slowing down the operation') YouTube, the Putin regime decided to even ban the popular service for measuring internet speed.

This concerns the Speedtest website.

The Russian authorities have come up with an explanation for such a decision.

Roskomnadzor stated that, allegedly, 'security threats' had been detected, which became the reason for the ban.

'The data collected by the American Speedtest service may be used to plan, organize, conduct, and assess the effectiveness of attacks on Russian communication networks and the systems of enterprises and organizations connected to them,' - they are confident in Roskomnadzor.

We remind you that we previously reported that the Russian authorities banned the use of IP telephony for making calls to landline and mobile numbers within the country.

Additionally, we reported that YouTube is already unavailable for 80% of users in Russia.
