Internet speed measurement service may be blocked. Roskomnadzor assumes that SpeedTest collects data and sends it abroad.
This is stated by the source, referring to the materials of the Ministry of Digital Development. SpeedTest is a popular internet speed measurement service. The application is used by more than two million Russian smartphone users. The RKN believes that the data that passes through the program goes to Germany. The location of users, IP addresses, Internet connection speed, all this may be of interest to all kinds of scammers and foreign intelligence agencies.
Experts warn:
“Ookla, which is actively working in Russia, is not localized in our country in any way; the company transfers data on movements, smartphones of Russians and other information abroad. Moreover, it collects, most likely, not only the information that is listed in the user agreement. This means that by enriching the obtained data about the user, SpeedTest developers can get information about his movements, place of residence, work, frequently visited places, and so on.
The Office has already sent a request for the location of the databases. If they are not in Russia, the service faces a fine of up to six million rubles or even blocking.
