Stability of operation and security of the unified telecommunications network of Russia, it is mandatory to confirm the compliance of the means of communication used in the public communications network with the established requirements (quote from RBC)," stated the letter from the acting head of the Roskomnadzor Department for Lipetsk Oblast, Roman Biryukov.
A top manager of one of the Big Three telecom operators (MTS, MegaFon and Beeline), as well as the head of a company working in the communications sector, noted that GGC servers are not subject to mandatory certification, since they are not a means of communication. This information was also confirmed by Mikhail Klimarev*, director of the non-profit organization Internet Protection Society.

"According to the list of communication tools subject to ecuador whatsapp number list mandatory certification, servers, which are Google Global Cache, are not included in the list subject to mandatory certification (quote from RBC)," he said.
Klimarev also noted that mandatory certification is carried out to ensure the operability of telecommunications networks. Its goal is to ensure that various equipment of one operator works together with the networks and equipment of other operators. This is why switching equipment, radio communication equipment, etc. are subject to mandatory certification.

"Such warnings from Roskomnadzor are a direct violation of current legislation - they have no right to demand something that is not prohibited or stipulated in the regulatory framework (quoted by RBC)," the head of the public organization added.
In response to this, the agency later stated on its official Facebook page (the social network belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as an extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation) that Google servers, in accordance with Russian legislation, are still subject to certification.

"The statements made in the media that Google Global Cache servers are not means of communication are an unofficial expert opinion. In the absence of official information on this issue, Roskomnadzor is guided by the norms of current legislation," RKN said.
The agency also added that “Google did not notify Russian authorities about the placement of uncertified technical equipment on the networks of Russian telecom operators or the purpose of this equipment.”
