Immediately after blocking access to their resource on the territory of Russia, representatives of PornHub even offered Roskomnadzor a premium subscription in exchange for razban. The decision to block this site was made on the basis of an application filed with the court by Ruslan Okhlopkov. Perhaps he is associated with "Antimaydan" and Roskomnadzor. Okhlopkov has been fighting for morality for several years. He also applied for other porn sites, including Pornolab. As far as can be judged, this citizen is struggling not only with sites containing elements of pornography, but also with publics that distribute similar content on social networks, in particular, in Vkontakte.


Now when trying to access the Russian version of the site, users are invited to go to rt.pornhub.com. True, some users report that it is impossible to access the international version of the site. Probably, in a few days, all providers in the country will remove the block.
