Roskomnadzor unlocks Alibaba's IP address pool

Today it became known that Roskomnadzor unlocked 8200 ip-addresses of Alibaba, which were blocked during the fight against the department with the Telegram messenger. "At the same time, the Telegram IP addresses that are part of this subnet are fully installed and blocked," the ministry said in a statement .

Despite the fact that Roskomnadzor began the fight with Telegram on April 16 of this year, the majority of users from the Russian Federation continue to use the instant messenger due to the constant change of their ip-addresses. By blocking the subnet of the service, Roskomnadzor also has to block access to some third-party sites. Representatives of the agency say that no more than 400 sites and services have suffered, but experts believe that the bill goes to thousands.

According to Roskomnadzor, Google and Amazon subnets are actively used to bypass locks. That is why, according to the agency, began to block and address pools belonging to the services of these and some other companies.

Now the reverse process is taking place, the efforts of experts are aimed at solving the problem of organizations and their products, which turned out to be “guilty without guilt”. Only this week, the federal service unlocked six subnets of Google, which were previously listed as blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The reason for all the locks is the refusal of Telegram’s management to hand over the keys for decrypting users ’personal messages to the Russian authorities. The injured party submitted an application to the court for recognition of the Roskomnadzor order legally incorrect, but on March 20 the application was rejected by the Supreme Court. After that, in May Telegram appealed to the Appeals Board of the Supreme Court.

Representatives of Telegram insist that the order of the FSB and the actions of Roskomnadzor violate the rights of users and contain a wide margin of appreciation for officials who can, in fact, take any tough decision on the services operating in the territory of the Russian Federation.
