In Russia, the website of the publication NeMoskva Speaks, which appeared after the start of the war, was blocked, as follows from data from the Ping-Admin service.
The editors received a notice of blocking from the department. What materials caused the complaints were not listed there.
At the same time, “NeMoskva” is not displayed in the register of prohibited sites of Roskomnadzor.
Mikhail Klimarev, director of the Internet Protection Society and author of the ZaTelecom telegram channel, drew attention to the fact that Roskomnadzor has not updated the register since March 5, although previously this was done regularly.
“This does not mean that there are no blockings — it means that they simply stopped publishing them and are stupidly blocking everything on TSPU. And now the blocking is absolutely not transparent,” he suggested.
“NeMoskva Speaks” was launched in the fall of 2022 by a team of journalists led by Viktor Muchnik, the editor-in-chief of the blocked Tomsk TV channel TV2. “The idea of our media is to create an information space for Russia in which local issues will be dominant,” they described their concept.
