Why does Russian President Vladimir Putin avoid using the internet?
According to reports, the Russian leader has long refused to be online. What he fears the most is digital surveillance. While doing so, Putin has become reliant on physical documents provided by advisors including time-sensitive material other than the info available on the internet. Russian state media reports claim that in 2020 Putin did use the internet occasionally, but the Russian leader did not use a smartphone. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated at the time: When Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine in late February, the Kremlin began cracking down on access to foreign social media sites and platforms which prompted Russians to seek alternative means. According to Freedom House, a Washington-based non-profit organization, Russia has seen the sharpest decline in internet freedom this year as compared to any other country.
