Roskomnadzor will get full control over Runet: from March 1, 2026 The agency will be able to issue mandatory commands to operators and providers, redirect traffic through its own technical means, change data transmission routes, enable filters and blocking, and take manual control of the network in case of a threat - formally to ensure security and stability, in fact as a control center for the Russian Internet with the ability to restrict access to sites and in extreme cases isolate Runet.

Thinking about the perspective, it should be noted that the toughest country in the world in the field of Internet censorship - the mainland of China, is also the world's largest iGaming market.

The only GEO where the virtual space is completely cleaned of gambling is North Korea. But it can no longer be called the Internet. It is an internal network called «Gwangmyeong» (광명망), which translates as «network of light».

Returning to RF. A number of affs working for this GEO have noted a significant increase in the speed of blocking in recent days. People in the know attribute this to the fact that the RKN continues to introduce various AI tools into its activities more and more.
