I’d like to thank my Five Eyes CIO counterparts for their hard work and candid discussion during the Defense CIO Forum (#DCIOF) and Combined Digital Leadership Summit (#CDLS). This was my first time leading the US delegation to the CDLS and I appreciate your willingness to roll up your sleeves and continue the work on #ProjectArcadia and so much more. It was especially meaningful for our team on the 250th anniversary of our nation. 🦅

ALT According to Russian independent media on 4 July 2024, at the request of the Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor, several Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications were removed from the Russian version of the App Store. This follows previous removals of VPN apps in 2022 and 2023. Roskomnadzor gained the power to block access to VPN services without reference to a court in March 2024. Roskomnadzor justified the ban due to the apps containing ‘content illegal in Russia’. This is almost certainly intended to restrict the ability of Russian citizens to access independent Russian, and international media, as well as to simplify the ability of the security services to monitor Russian citizens. Separately, also on 4 July, Russian media reported that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), has demanded that Russian telecom operators stop providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Telephony services.
