Crimeans are now using the Russian internet New internet, new censorship? Now that much of Crimeas internet traffic is flowing through Russia, citizens there will most likely be subject to the countrys expanding web censorship. Doug Madory of Renesys tells Motherboard that If it all went through [Rostelecom], then they could implement or extend whatever censorship controls that they currently do in Russia to Crimea. A recent bill requires all bloggers with 3,000 or more readers to register as members of the media, putting them under some of the same censorship controls as TV and print outlets. Sites that are deemed illegal and shut down by Russian authorities would also be inaccessible via internet connections that go through Russia. Currently, Crimeas old internet connections through Ukraine and Europe are still online — its currently unclear if Russia will eventually shut these down to take complete control.
