• Russia bans PornHub and YouPorn

[QUOTE] The Kremlin's media and Internet watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has ordered Russian ISP's to block PornHub, the world's leading porn website. IP's and URL's for PornHub and YouPorn were added to Russia's Registry of illegal content on May 13th. According to Roskomnadzor, it acted in accordance with a local court decision, which had ruled in May 2016 that PornHub 'violated the ban on the dissemination of information regarding the production of pornographic materials and paraphernalia'. Russia's current laws do not ban the consumption of pornography, although production is illegal. In April 2015, a court in Tatarstan ruled that all Internet porn in the country was illegal, however major websites continued to work in Russia.

Alright well all the stark defenders of Russia that may or may not still be on this forum can officially shove it Russia blows
Officially worse than USSR
Anyone with half a braincell can get around this via the use of a VPN. That or people will go back to distributing it via other means.
Hope that does not affect the production and upload of Russian porn though.

[QUOTE=GordonZombie;51054107]Anyone with half a braincell can get around this via the use of a VPN. That or people will go back to distributing it via other means.[/QUOTE] So you mean this wouldn't have an effect at all?
[QUOTE=rndgenerator;51054108]Hope that does not affect the production and upload of Russian porn though.[/QUOTE] I mean... Producing it is illegal... Then again the way I see it nobody gives a fuck about what is and isn't illegal in Russia. Except when people committing the same crime start disappearing.
Never get between a man or woman and their porn

AFAIK, there's a lot of porn on vk.com which is essentially the russian Facebook. So I have no idea why they'd ban pornhub and youporn :v:
The only thing this is gonna achieve is Streisand effect.
[QUOTE=J!NX;51054127]its pretty amazing how people think they can ban porn the ignorance[/QUOTE] they can ban porn but it won't be really effective
[QUOTE=AtomiCal;51054128]So you mean this wouldn't have an effect at all?[/QUOTE] Not really, no. Look at when our High Court tried to force ISPs to block torrent sites like kickass and tpb, all it did was increase traffic since all you had to do was use an easily available proxy or VPN.
This is an egregious abuse of basic human rights.

Look at when our High Court tried to force ISPs to block torrent sites like kickass and tpb, all it did was increase traffic since all you had to do was use an easily available proxy or VPN.[/QUOTE] By blocking access to these websites, normal regular people will start to look for alternatives. Smart and edgy tech savvy people like you and me, of course, will snicker and go through a proxy. If they restrict it enough, then the russians won't have a market for it. THEN it becomes a problem. I agree that it is a near useless action in order to block porn production in russia. The same thing is for torrents. Alternatives and workarounds WILL pop up. But it certainly will have an effect on production. Looking at porn? No. People will find a way.
all this shit is thankfully solved by a simple chrome extension utterly stupid however

Japan's government tolerates porn as long as it doesn't depict illegal material (which includes uncensored genitals). That's about as lenient as east Asia gets.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;51054072]$500. [quote]a court in Tatarstan ruled that all Internet porn in the country was illegal[/quote] Pay up.[/QUOTE] So would that ruling apply to all of Russia? seems a bit dodge for 1 court to decide law across the whole federation. In my mind thats like alabama ruling it ok to beat wives then the whole USA being forced to follow. Would laws decided in chechnya or crimea get applied to the whole federation similarly? That can't be case can it? Seems like a bad system if thats the case.
