| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. I have accounts with V Kontakte and rutube.ru. I registered my access to V Kontakte thru my rkka.org account, which is my own standalone mail server, which I use less and less. rutube.ru was registered through my gmail.com account. The Russian Ministry of Defense only recently required me to download and activate their own SSL certificate to access their website, so security measures for access to Russian media are tightening. Good for Russia, I guess. [Regnum] Russian services have begun to warn users that logging into their accounts via Google or Apple ID will soon be disabled. In particular, the warning appears on the Liters book service. “Starting April 22, access through Google account and Apple ID will be disabled. To maintain access to your account, please make sure your email and phone number are current and added to your profile,” the resource said when selecting “Other methods” when logging in. A corresponding warning appeared on the VK Play platform, however, in addition to Google and Apple, the use of Twitch, Epic Games Store and Steam accounts is also unavailable there. The site offers a choice of authorization through Mail.ru, VK and Odnoklassniki email. As Regnum reported, on July 31, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning registration on Russian websites using foreign email, which requires going through the appropriate procedure by phone number, through the Gosuslugi portal, using a unified biometric system, via email Russian services or using identifiers on Russian resources. Before this, the State Duma adopted the law, and the Federation Council approved it on July 28. The head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Alexander Khinshtein, explained that the changes apply only to sites that have user registration and authentication. |
