A representative of MinTsifry told RIA that if it decides that pirate sites can be removed from Russia’s blocking register, unblocking would only be available to sites that a) offer pirated content from Western countries and b) those who comply with additional restrictions laid down by the authorities.
“The Ministry of Digital Development, together with industry representatives, is working on proposals to abandon restrictions on access to sites that provide unlicensed video content of Western majors, on certain conditions,” the source said.
“Such video content should not be legally presented in Russian online services, should not be rented in cinemas, and should not contain extremist materials and LGBT propaganda,” the source said.
I always thought the russian federation was like open waters for piracy, shocked to hear some sites are blocked, boo
I know on rutracker you can upload anything, but can't make any comments. Which sucks pretty bad, but homophobic comments also get nuked.
These attitudes make it real hard to show them any impartiality sometimes, even knowing the opposition isn't much better. What kind of idiot implicitly vouches for their own marginalization?
