In St. Petersburg, massive disruptions in mobile Internet service have been ongoing for the second day now \u2014 users of all leading operators are complaining about a complete or partial lack of connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by Russian media.<\/p>\n

According to local residents, the Internet is disappearing even in applications from the so-called “white list”, in particular in navigation services. Because of this, drivers have lost the ability to plot routes.<\/p>\n

“Time to buy a paper card. I was driving by feel. I have to reboot my phone after leaving the house,” write outraged users.<\/p>\n

On social networks associated with the city’s Committee for Informatization and Communications, St. Petersburgers are leaving a wave of angry comments:<\/p>\n

“St. Petersburg authorities, who will bear responsibility for the disgrace that has been happening with mobile communications all day? Who will compensate people for the losses?” local residents ask.<\/p>\n

The city committee confirmed the connection problems and admitted that mobile internet “works unstable” due to security measures. Officials did not disclose details of what measures are in question.<\/p>\n

Recall that Russia is preparing new restrictions on communications, which may affect not only private calls, but also citizens’ access to foreign services.<\/a> Officially, the initiative is presented as a protective measure, but experts warn of serious consequences for freedom of information and communications.<\/p>\n

As reported, Russia has officially approved mass restrictions on mobile internet<\/a> , saying such measures are supposedly needed to counter drones. The Kremlin called the shutdowns \u201cjustified and necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
