The State Duma explained the principle of forming "white lists" for online resources

The "white lists" will include about 99% of all existing services that people use on a daily basis. This was announced on March 17 by Andrei Svintsov, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy.

"In them ("white lists". 99% of all resources will get there," he said in an interview with TASS.

The MP stressed that banking applications, mobile operator services, "Public Services", marketplaces, as well as delivery and taxi services will be included in the list.

The only exceptions are those resources that may pose a security threat, such as being used to control drones or coordinate terrorist attacks. In addition, the system will be constantly updated with new proven sites.

What are the reasons and how will drivers and passengers be able to connect to the Network?

On February 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law obliging telecom operators to disconnect networks at the request of the FSB in the prescribed cases. Amendments have been made to the law "On Communications" and are aimed at regulating the interaction of operators and special services. Operators will not be held responsible for communication outages if the network outage is related to the FSB requirement.

Later, on March 10, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, responding to a question from Izvestia, said that all Internet outages and restrictions on communications occur strictly in accordance with current legislation. In different contexts, the topic of adding certain resources to the "white lists" arises, and some of them were included there.
