Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia is
launching a new ‘independent Internet’ that will be free from the
shackles of the New World Order.
Putin and the Security Council are developing the new Internet
initially for BRICS nations, which will be totally independent of global
elite corporations and governments and will continue to work in the
event of global internet outages.
The new initiative was brought forward at the October meeting of the
Security Council, with Putin setting a deadline of August 1, 2018.
It is believed the new independent Internet will be free from
censorship, with the likes of Google and Facebook barred from
monopolising key functions such as search results and social media
communications.
Rt.com
reports: While discussing the issue, members of the council noted that
“the increased capabilities of western nations to conduct offensive
operations in the informational space as well as the increased readiness
to exercise these capabilities pose a serious threat to Russia’s
security.”
They decided that the problem should be addressed by creating a
separate backup system of Domain Name Servers (DNS), which would not be
subject to control by international organizations. This system would be
used by countries of the BRICS bloc – Brazil, Russia, India, China and
South Africa.
The issue of excessive dependency on global DNS has previously been
addressed by Russia. In 2014, the Russian Communications Ministry
conducted a major exercise in which it simulated the “switching off” of
global internet services and used a Russian backup system to
successfully support web operations inside the country.
We are yet again experiencing public outcry demanding Title II
classification, including a follow-up to John Oliver’s popular 2015
episode of Last Week Tonight. Chairman Pai circulated his proposal for
repeal in November 2017, and the Commissioners are expecte to vote on
the matter at the December 2017 Open Meeting. Continue to follow us for
updates.
Public Knowledge continues to fight for Title II classification of
internet access service. This reclassification is the only way for the
FCC to create strong net neutrality rules that allow customers to have a
reasonable expectation of consistent, reliable, and nondiscriminatory
services. We will continue to fight to maintain an open internet for all
and for fair enforcement of the rules.
