If your end users are located in Russia, the delivery of THRON content, pages, and API calls can only be guaranteed on a best-effort basis. This page explains what this means for your channels and why it does not depend on THRON.

Best effort in Russia: what to expect on your channels

Russia may apply filters, blocks, or throttling to Western services without prior notice. For users accessing from the country, this can result in:

• slowness when loading content, pages, and API responses;

• disruptions in accessing THRON services.

These effects may occur even when the platform is operating normally, and THRON has no way to prevent or resolve them.

Delivery in Russia: why THRON cannot guarantee it

This is not a commercial decision by THRON. Delivery quality in the country depends on two external factors:

• Interventions by Russian authorities and operators on their network.

• International restrictions, which limit what our CDN partner, Akamai, can do in the country.

According to our CDN partner, observed interventions on the Russian network include IP address-based blocking, bandwidth throttling, and potential full network shutdowns. Their infrastructure is able to adapt to some of these effects, but not all.
