    Russia already has national root TLS certificate that's must installed on all devices (basically government-mandated MITM). The next step is to start severely throttling (and optionally blocking) TLS connections that don't use it. Some popular foreign sites like Google can remain functional by replacing their certificate at ISP level (all ISPs are already controlled by the government).

      bruh what are you talking about, there are indeed national root certs but that's purely for Sberbank and similar government sites, I wouldn't put it past them to go further but we're a loooooong way off
