State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin said that he is concerned about the work of Android in Russia.
It’s all about Google’s caching servers in Russia, which need to be updated. The company can’t do this because it’s no longer officially present in Russia, and its US license prohibits it from working with private companies.
So sooner or later all this equipment will simply stop working. And here I am more worried not even about YouTube, but about the stability of the Android system sensors, which also largely depends on these servers.

He says aging caching hardware is the reason YouTube is running slowly.
Roskomnadzor began to slow down YouTube after blocking the connections of Shaman, Grigory Leps and Oleg Gazmanov.
At the same time, on August 6, Gorelkin wrote that the slowdown of YouTube does not affect the operation of other Google and Android services in Russia.
YouTube slowdown due to poor caching quality does not affect the stability of the Android mobile system and other Google services in Russia.

Gorelkin then claimed that “such a threat could only arise as a result of a strict blocking” of YouTube, but such a scenario is not a prospect.
