The title is misleading, Russia will never leave the internet because the internet is not owned by anyone.. Russian requests will still be routed through other countries.. It's about stop relying on foreign infrastructure to be full in control.

I don't understand what you mean when you say Russian requests will be routed through other countries.

Russia is now hosting their own DNS servers. And their people are instructed to change from the .com domain to .ru.

And unfortunately the internet is owned by a few rich and power corporations. (They own the backbone and there is no free access point to it for the public.) I wish the internet were free, but you cannot connect to it without paying these corporations for access to their network, and if not you, then whoever is sharing their connection with you is paying these corporations for access.

Do you have any other thoughts on this?
