Roskomnadzor: Telegram lock affects 400 resources

The other day, the press service of Roskomnadzor stated that as a result of taking actions to block the Telegram messenger, the abnormal operation of about 400 sites was revealed. Now the agency is working with companies that own the resources.

The “hot line” received appeals for a large number of sites, but only for 1.3 thousand specific addresses or IPs are indicated. “The inspections showed that the abnormal work of 400 resources indicated in these 1,3 thousand appeals was in one way or another connected with the measures taken by Roskomnadzor and telecom operators to execute the court decision on Telegrams,” the press service said.

Now Roskomnadzor together with ROCIT is working with companies affected by the opposition from Telegram and a number of foreign hosting providers. To solve the problem, it is proposed to perform a number of local actions so that the Internet resources affected by the blocking continue to work.

According to the head of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, Nikolai Nikiforov, about 46 thousand complaints were filed with Roskomnadzor about unlawful blocking of Internet addresses. „I don’t really understand what“ Runet is under attack ”is. There are reports that blocking addresses that are not related to the organizer of the dissemination of information, but are related to other resources are blocked. But these appeals should be considered individually, "said the Minister.

On April 13, the court decided to block Telegram in the Russian Federation for non-compliance with the requirements of the Federal Security Service regarding the provision of keys for decrypting messages from messenger users. After the decision was made, Roskomnadzor began blocking VPN and proxy services that provide access to the messenger in the Russian Federation. These actions caused the inaccessibility of a number of services and sites to users in the Russian Federation.
