YouTube download speed may drop to 40% by the end of the week and 70% by the end of the next week, said deputy Alexander Khinshtein in his Telegram channel. Speed reduction will affect only desktop versions of video hosting, for mobile devices the speed will remain the same. This is a forced step, directed not against Russian users, but against the administration of a foreign resource, which still believes that it can violate and ignore our legislation with impunity, he emphasized.
