As we always report on these pages, nations are pushing for the creation of domestic software and hardware devices, i.e. technologies created within the nation that are more easily controllable from a national security point of view.
While in themselves they may seem like excellent initiatives at an economic and national level, they carry with them serious risks for the future of the internet and “globalization”.
The fact of erecting “Digital Walls“, avoiding shared technologies, creates digital divisions that they isolate nations, limiting collaboration and technological exchange on a global scale (find out more in Massimiliano Brolli’s article).

The Roskomnadzor of the Russian Federation stated that WhatsApp continues to violate Russian law and, therefore, constantly imposes restrictive measures against the messaging app.
Roskomnadzor claims that WhatsApp is used to organize and carry out terrorist attacks in the country, recruit terrorists and commit fraud and other crimes against citizens.
The regulator clarified that the restrictions will be phased in to allow users to switch to alternative messaging apps, and he recommended switching to domestic services.
Roskomnadzor also stressed that restrictions on WhatsApp will continue and that if Russian law is not respected, the messaging service could be completely blocked.
In the early morning hours of December 22, users in Russia complained en masse about WhatsApp. According to the tracking service SBOY.RF, 1,283 reports were recorded in the last 24 hours, and a graph of the last 14 days showed a sharp increase in reports at the end of the period.
The largest number of reports of unavailability and connection errors came from Moscow, followed by St. Petersburg and the Moscow region.
According to user feedback, some users failed to send messages, and the web version and desktop app failed to connect. However, the mobile version continued to work for some, sometimes only via VPN.
