[Advocacy Advisors] BBC - Russia internet blacklist law takes effect

Fri Nov 2 18:51:52 UTC 2012

The BBC has a story on the law that the Russian Wikipedia community
protested:

If the websites themselves cannot be shut down, internet service providers
(ISPs) and web hosting companies can be forced to block access to the
offending material.

The list of banned website will be managed by Roskomnadzor (Russia's
Federal Service for Supervision in Telecommunications, Information
Technology and Mass Communications). It is meant to be updated daily, but
its contents are not available to the general public.
