Residents of several Moscow neighborhoods received notifications on Friday, April 10, warning of mobile internet restrictions for “security purposes.”
Subscribers in the Kitai-Gorod and Shabolovka areas were among those who received the messages, the Telegram channel Ostorozhno Moskva (Caution, Moscow) reported. The notifications mentioned so-called “white lists” — a catalog of websites that users are supposed to be able to access even during the restrictions.
For three weeks in March, mobile internet — and at times mobile service altogether — went down in various parts of Moscow. Sources at the Russian business news outlet RBC said at the time that the outages were a test of “white lists.” According to Russian media, those lists went into effect in Moscow on March 13.
On March 18, Moscow began sending out warnings about possible mobile internet disruptions for the first time.
