Rostelecom partially blocked the social network VKontakte "

The company "Rostelecom" has blocked part of the resources of the social network VKontakte. This was reported on the official twitter of the provider. In support of such a measure, the company referred to the decision of the Lefortovo District Court of Moscow. “We, as the operator, have nothing to do with it. Decisions at the level of laws, derivatives of acts and their implementation,” the company objected on the outraged post of one of the subscribers.

Parts about the causes of locking have not yet been reported. After the request of the portal, the tjournal promised on Tuesday to publish a detailed answer prepared by the lawyers of the company.

Subscribers began to complain about the inability to get on VKontakte on Friday. The browser informed them of the impossibility of passing an authorization of a secure connection. At the same time, users were invited to check the system settings of the date and time and restart the browser. Then Rostelecom explained the problems with a technical failure.

Websites can be blocked both by court decision and out of court. So, since November 2012, Roskomnadzor has the right to block resources with child pornography and drug propaganda and suicide. Since August of this year, after the entry into force of anti -pirate law, sites with pirate content may also be subject to blocking.
