Google.ru briefly blocked in Russia

In 2016, Roskomnadzor added the google.ru domain to the registry of prohibited sites, and on June 22, 2017, for some unknown reason, sent it to the "upload". During that time, while Google was in the “unloading” today, it was managed to block several Russian providers, including Akado and TTC. According to Beeline users, Google has also been blocked on their network.

The following address was specified in the upload to locks:

Specialists of Roskomnadzor sent this service address to the “unloading”. The question of why it was entered into the registry at all instead of putting a normal link directly to a banned site that opens when you click on an AdWords ad.



The head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, confirmed the fact of blocking. He explained it as follows: “Google had a redirect from the site of the betting company, so the operators began to block it. Google has already removed the redirect, the problem was quickly resolved. "

Vadim Ampelonsky added to the Vedomosti comments that the FTS described several addresses (URLs) to block the website of this company, including an address that looked like a Google redirect link: “Roskomnadzor had no right not to enter this link into the registry, but immediately warned Google. The company removed the redirect, and Google was removed from the registry. ” According Ampellonskogo, the link was present in the registry for less than an hour.

This site is one of thousands of gambling sites that the FTS has blocked in the pretrial order. We are talking about sites that violate the laws in the field of gambling and lotteries. This way the sites of online casinos, bookmakers and others are blocked.

At the moment, Roskomnadzor has removed the domain google.ru from the registry of prohibited sites.

PS In one of the informational Telegram channels, they say that the employee who got messed up was naturally beaten. Not due to the fact that he copes poorly with the work, of course (then there would be no whole staff left in the RKN), but because the authorities have already arrived and arrived very tough.
