The social network Vkontakte blocked the community of the human rights project OVD-Info by the decision of the Prosecutor General's Office. This was reported by the project itself.

The Prosecutor General's Office accused OVD-Info of disseminating false information about "a special military operation being conducted by the Russian Armed Forces, its form, methods of conducting combat operations," as well as about attacks on civilian objects, casualties among the civilian population of Ukraine and in the ranks of the Russian army.

The agency also claims that OVD-Info was spreading “fakes” regarding general mobilization in Russia.

In December 2021, Roskomnadzor blocked the OVD-Info website. The reason was articles about Hizb ut-Tahrir , Jehovah's Witnesses, and protests in support of Alexei Navalny. The court considered them a justification of terrorism and extremism.
After blocking the OVD-Info website, Roskomnadzordemanded that social networks delete the organization's accounts. In response, OVD-Info published a petition on Change.org, calling on social networks and messengers "not to be a tool of censorship" and not to block the accounts of public organizations.
On July 4, 2021, the Moscow Regional Court overturned the decision of the Lukhovitsky District Court, on the basis of which the OVD-Info website was blocked, and reprimanded the judge. OVD-Info stated that it would seek Roskomnadzor to unblock its website, but "has no illusions" since in Russia "approximately everyone has been blocked."

VKontakte blocked the OVD-Info page following a decision by the Prosecutor General's Office. It accused the project of spreading "fakes" about the war
