In Chechnya, all YouTube from sin was blocked

Access to YouTube and VKontakte sites in Chechnya is still blocked. Internet providers explain this by a decision of the courts, but the court decisions themselves do not say about blocking sites.

The story began with the film "Innocent Muslims" , which was posted on these sites. The film caused mass indignation in the Muslim world and in the North Caucasus, including - especially in Chechnya and Dagestan . In Chechnya, the Ministry of National Policy, Press and Information initiated a trial in connection with the film, the Lenin Court of the Terrible on September 27 issued a decision to block the "innocence of Muslims."

Access to YouTube and VKontakte will be opened when permission from the authorities will receive, said in an interview with the Publicpost the operator of the largest telecom Internet provider in Chechnya: “We would have opened sites today, but we cannot ignore the judicial decisions. Moreover, the court in Moscow also issued a similar decision .”

The court decision said about blocking links, not sites, the source in the Chechen minnats said: “As I know, the court decided to prevent the spread of this film not only on these two sites, but also on the Internet. About the full blocking of YouTube sites and VKontakte, I didn’t want to work out once again. After all, this film could not be opened. Only one link, and to track all the links and block them - the work is long.

According to the source, the users' indignation did not cause: "There were no complaints from people. They probably understand that the head of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov indicated to limit the distribution of the film, and no one went into the subtleties of the execution of its decree."

It’s not worth upset due to blocking sites, assured Publicpost by a resident of Grozny Magomed Musaev: "Those who wanted to use sites have found a way out. Many use the proxy servers. In principle, no inconvenience arises, except that the Internet is slowly working."

It is pointless to close access to sites, says Magomed Magomedov, an employee of the Dagestan Internet provider Optics Telecom: “When the scandal around the film“ Innocence of Muslims ”began, three or four letters from different law enforcement agencies-the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the prosecutor's office, the letters were resolved, it was said to be limited to access to the film. And all the providers in Dagestan have completed the recommendations of the YouTube-and we have blocked only this site-we opened three to four weeks ago, because the prosecutor's office called and said that the film “Invqulandality of Muslims” was erased from this site. proxy ". On the YouTube website, the film "Innocence of Muslims" is available in the full version, Magomedov said: "Although the initial links to the film were deleted and new ones appear, people appear. People are pumping the film, changing the name a little. The prosecutor’s office probably can’t understand this. It's just that the scandal is faded."
