Russian telecoms watchdog Roscomnadzor has demanded the removal of more than 5.6 million URLs from search results for VPNs in June 2024 .

The regulator has also ordered Google to remove over 61,000 videos containing “fakes about a special military operation,” extremist material, and “promotion of non-traditional sexual preferences”.

These removals represent more than just links to VPN providers.

Tutorials and discussion about VPNs have become a priority target.

This represents classic censorship and denial of the right to freely receive and impart, knowledge and information.

Russia knows that, and it knows that everyone knows that it knows.
