Roskomnadzor began to restrict access to violating VPN services, which are used to bypass blocking of any good content and protect their privacy on the Internet. This was reported on Thursday with reference to the release of the service.
On Thursday, Roskomnadzor began blocking VyprVPN and Opera VPN "in accordance with the regulations for responding to threats to circumvent restrictions on access to child pornography, suicidal, pro-drug and other prohibited content."
The service explained to the publication that these services are classified as threats in accordance with a government decree.
"The restrictions will not affect Russian companies using VPN services in continuous technological processes," added Roskomnadzor, adding that more than 200 such processes in 130 Russian companies are included in the "white lists". Enterprises were informed about the possibility of inclusion in the lists on May 14, 2021, the lists can be supplemented after relevant requests
Note how it is always "child pornography, suicidal, pro-drug content"? As if had been possible they will do anything to promote and make all of this things very common (as they love all of them!), but they are so nice tiny size things that allow to dumb down masses.
Tech company Canon has come up with a downright dystopic way to tackle the problem of workplace morale: it’s installed cameras with AI-enabled “smile recognition” technology in the offices of its Chinese subsidiary Canon Information Technology.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he believes a proposed European law known as DMA would “not be in the best interest of users,” signaling the iPhone maker’s opposition to European legislation that would force it to allow users to install software outside of Apple’s App Store.
“I think there are parts of it that are not in the best interests of the user,” Cook said Wednesday through videoconference at the VivaTech conference in France.
The European Union DMA law focuses on companies with large numbers of customers -- like Apple, Google and Amazon -- and sets rules requiring them to open up their platforms to competitors.
One of Cook’s issues with the law is that it would force Apple to permit sideloading apps on the iPhone, which is manually installing software from the internet or a file instead of through an app store.
Cook noted that the iPhone’s market share in France is only 23% and said that permitting sideloading on iPhones would damage both the privacy and security of users
Note that it is no progress in opening Apple system at all, instead Android becomes more and more closed system with more and more Google owned tracking.
