Roskomnadzor began to block Google

Roscientzor began blocking the main services of Google: the IP address of the Google.com site has been included in the unloading for providers. From the evening of Saturday, users have problems with the search engine, Gmail and other Internet giant services in a number of Russian regions. According to the owner of the Diphost hosting, Philip Kulin following the analysis of the unloading of the RKN , the list of the blocking includes more than 60 IP addresses of the Google.com site.

According to Downdetector , on Sunday night a sharp increase in the number of Muscovites complaints about problems with access to Google was recorded. Complaints also come from St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk and other cities.

Google.ru domain did not touch.

In the middle of the day, Roskomnadzor confirmed that the lock was held as part of the fight against Telegram messenger. "Google today has not satisfied the requirements of Roskomnadzor and, in violation of the verdict of the court, continues to allow Telegram Messenger Limited LiaBility Partnership to use its IP addresses to carry out activities in Russia," the department said . "On the register of prohibited information, a number of IP addresses Google used by Telegram to carry out activities in the Russian Federation. "

For a week, RKN has massively block the IP addresses of the Google and Amazon cloud services to prevent Telegram. Tens of millions of IP addresses of these Internet companies have been blacklisted. Tens of thousands of sites and services suffer from the actions of the censorship department. Meanwhile, Telegram continues to work in Russia without using VPN.

Roskomnadzor also requires Google and Apple to remove Telegram from mobile applications stores.

Telegram, in turn, suggested Russian users on April 22 to hold a promotion in defense of the free Internet - at seven o’clock in the evening to release paper aircraft from the windows. “We lasted 7 days under the most large -scale act of Internet censorship in the history of Russia,” says Pavel Durov, the creator of Telegram. “All those who support the free Internet are called to launch a paper aircraft from the window today at exactly 7 pm in local time. An hour after the action, it makes sense to arrange a small subbotnik - to collect the aircraft that you will find at your home.”

Roskomnadzor began blocking Telegram on April 16 due to the messenger’s refusal to transfer the FSB to encryption keys from user correspondence.
