A Cat-and-Mouse Game of Russian Internet Restrictions and Evasion

Senior researcher Ksenia Ermoshina spoke to the New York Times about how Russians may start acquiescing to the limits imposed by state censorship technology.

As Russian authorities block apps and websites, sometimes even turning off mobile internet, some are finding their ways around censorship, while others may be settling for state-controlled apps.

“People will fall back to what works, and they won’t think about security in those critical moments,” says Ermoshina, “because they will need to find out what happens to their kids at school.”
