Since March 9, St. Petersburg has experienced significant disruptions to mobile internet, with nearly 2,500 complaints from residents reporting issues with messaging applications and online banking services. These outages coincide with the announcement by the governor of the Leningrad region, Alexander Drozdenko, regarding threats related to drones and a possible reduction in internet speed. Authorities have implemented a 'whitelist' of approved sites, limiting access to information.
Moscow has been facing mobile internet issues for five days, but certain platforms remain functional. The disruptions have been attributed to 'external restrictions,' and telecom operators have been instructed to restrict services in certain areas. Russia has become a global leader in internet disruptions, with over 37,000 hours of outages in 2022, affecting a large part of the population. A recent law allows the Federal Security Service (FSB) to request outages without government approval, exempting operators from liability to customers.
