Blocking access to prohibited materials. year 2014.

Recently, requirements for telecom operators have become more frequent. block websites containing "extremist materials" and these requirements are not always, in our opinion, legitimate.

This document combines the news about the blocking of sites, for which we have no reason to believe that law enforcement agencies exceeded their powers.

Those cases when it comes to blocking access to the site, on on which there are no materials included in the Federal List, or on which such materials are an atypical exception (for example, in the network library) are displayed in a similar document in the section "Illegal anti-extremism".

And some news is displayed in both documents, so how decisions on different sites may, for example, be legitimate to varying degrees.

In general, with our position on the problem of blocking sites, you can see here .

In connection with the multiplication of this kind of news, from July 1, 2012 we combine them into one list.

See blocking data from July to December 2012 here and for 2013 here .
