Roskomnadzor blocked 200 pirate sites with advertising online casinos


MOSCOW, April 18 - RAPSI. Roskomnadzor at the request of the Federal Tax Service of Russia restricted access to 200 pirate sites, which hosted illegal advertising online casinos and bookmakers, the ministry said.

In total, in the Unified Register of Prohibited Information Roskomnadzor contributed more than 250 pirate online cinemas and torrent trackers, which hosted such advertising. Owners of 200 Internet resources did not comply with the service's request to remove prohibited information, which is why the agency restricted access to the sites. The deadline for fulfilling the requirements sent to the owners of 50 sites (as well as hosting providers), has not yet expired.

Roskomnadzor also notes that information on a significant number of pirated resources with illegal advertising was obtained from citizens and organizations through a "hot line" operating on the site of the Unified Register of Prohibited Information. All these messages were sent to the FTS for making decisions on access restrictions.
