Tulyaks announced a self-ban on calls from abroad

Residents of the Tula region from the first day of spring next year will be able to voluntarily turn off incoming calls from abroad.

This will be available to Tulyaks at State Services or in the MFC, said the first deputy head of the Duma Committee on Digital Development and AI Anton Nemkin.

“The key principle of innovation is that the decision is made by the subscriber himself. At the same time, we are not talking about a universal ban on international communications, this is only an additional option for those who do not need foreign calls and who want to reduce possible risks, the Banks.ru resource broadcasts the arguments of the politician.

According to Nemkin, the process should be “as simple as possible and understandable for everyone, regardless of the level of digital literacy.”.

This is especially true for Russians and Tulyaks aged, they are least able to resist scammers.

“... they often present themselves as employees of banks, law enforcement agencies and government agencies, put pressure on the victim and force him to act quickly. Limiting international calls, in his opinion, will help reduce the number of such contacts, the source said.

Curiously, Nemkin admitted that this method cannot 100% protect the elderly from intruders, they can dial from Russian numbers and use “other communication channels.”.

“MK in Tula” wrote: previously tourists were called a list of unusual destinations within the Russian Federation. For an unusual holiday, Russians and Tulaks are ready to go to various parts of the country, from Vyborg to the Kuban village of Mostovsky. This trend is evidenced by the results of a study of one of the services of travel organization.
