Russia’s media regulator has blocked all access to popular porn websites like PornHub and YouPorn.
The ban on porn sites went into effect on Tuesday of this week; visitors who attempted to access the sites were greeted with a notice informing them that the material had been removed “by decision of public authorities.” The move was governed by Roskomnadzor.
When a similar restriction went into force last year, Roskomnadzor sent users a snarky message: “As an alternative you could try and meet someone in real life.”
Should Pornhub use the same strategy as in 2016? Roskomnadzor is being asked about unbanning the site in exchange for a premium account.
There is still a way for people who have not found someone in real life to visit the aforementioned restricted websites. They may utilize a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service to get access to banned websites.
We got your back. Unseen Online Unlimited VPN is a 100% free, ad-supported VPN that enables you to visit restricted websites while protecting you from government monitoring.
