YouTube blocked in Russia

It is clear that Russian authorities are trying to prevent YouTube from operating in the country. They are resorting to the so-called “slowing down” of the service, which was previously implemented on Twitter (now X) and Telegram.

Technical data at the time of the failure showed that the connection speed was around 322 Kbit/s and the buffering value was zero. For comparison, in July, under similar conditions, 1080p resolution video took at least 50 seconds to buffer. Connection speeds to the service have been steadily decreasing, from 8.5 Mbps on July 25 to 918 kbps on July 30.
