Summary

This BBC News article (now returning a 404 error) covered Russia's Sovereign Internet Law, which enabled Russian authorities to isolate the Russian internet (Runet) from the global internet. The law represented a significant milestone in state control over digital infrastructure and information flow.

Key Points

  • This legislation exemplifies the trend of digital authoritarianism and internet fragmentation ('splinternet') by nation-states.
