The official position of Rostelecom regarding blocking sites

Rostelecom at the end of June published its official position on blocking websites. As I understand it, no one paid particular attention to it, but in vain. I quote beautiful words:

Rostelecom does not have the technical ability to block specific Internet pages on which information recognized as prohibited is posted. Access to a banned site is blocked by its IP address. Moreover, a single IP address may belong not only to resources subject to a court decision.

Rostelecom is forced to execute the court decision literally, with the result that the entire Internet resource is blocked for users, and not just a page with illegal material. It is for this reason that it is possible to block resources that do not contain illegal materials.
')
Any allegations that Rostelecom is exceeding its authority or going beyond the prescribed judicial decisions when blocking access to Internet resources are incorrect and are detrimental to the Company's image and.


So, in short, Rostelecom reports the following:
“We have crooked hands, we cannot work normally, and we don’t strive too much. But if someone criticizes us for this, then we may well begin to sue for damage to the company's image. ” It seems that work in state monopolies completely corrodes the brain, if such texts are sent for publication in the media.
