"Roskomsvoboda" will reach the Supreme Court if it is forbidden to talk about VPN, Tor and proxy
Lawyers of Roskomsvoboda and the Center for the Protection of Digital Rights intend to fully oppose the court decision to block the “ Toolkit ” section on the rublacklist.net website with a description of the technical means for restoring access to sites registered in the banned list.
