Ban-ka in white

Roskomnadzor compiled a “white list” of more than 2000 Internet resources that cannot be blocked, according to RoskomSvoboda. A letter with this list of departments of the department is sent to operators of communication.

In addition to state resources, the “White List” includes addresses, domain masks and IP of many popular Internet services, in particular *.yandex.ru, *.Facebook.com, *.vk.com, *.Google. *, *.Twitter.com, *.youtube.com, *.instagram.com.

In Roskomskvobod, the appearance of such a list is associated with the fact that owners of blocked resources began to troll Roskomnadzor. They began to include in the DNS prohibited sites of the IP addresses of state, as well as popular Internet services. As a result, the providers, mechanically following the instructions on the blocking, limited access to such sites.

“We can’t imagine how much more work on entering the selected sites in the White List will have to make employees of the Russian supervisory department, but now completely obvious mistakes have been climbing that the Russian authorities will make it possible to continue to troll,” the Roskomovobod said. So, entering the list of masks *. GOOGLE. * Frees from blocking any sites containing its address.

After the adoption of the Law on locks, situations arose repeatedly when access to popular Internet services was limited. So, Archive.org, also known as Wayback Machine, which has a full archive of the Internet since 1996, has been blocked several times. The site operates on the basis of the HTTPS protocol. This does not allow you to limit access to individual pages of the resource.

On March 9, 2014, one of the largest providers of the Altai Altai Republic for the same reason blocked access to YouTube due to the resolution of Roskomnadzor to block individual videos on this resource. “Roskomnadzor’s decree on blocking individual videos on YouTube was issued. Unfortunately, we cannot block separate videos, so we have to block the entire resource so far,” said the provider employee.
