Russia blocks 23 “LGBT propaganda” websites
23 resources containing “LGBT propaganda” were added to the register of banned sites in Russia after a complaint from the Safe Internet League to Alexander Khinstein and Rosmolodezh. This was announced on February 10 by the head of the League Ekaterina Mizulina.
Among those blocked were the websites of the LGBT group «Exit», the publications «Guys Plus» and GayPress, the queer podcast «Ways of Acceptance» by Kazan journalist Elena Dogadina. Representatives of the LGBT initiative «Exit» reported «Novaya Gazeta. Europe», that they did not receive notifications about the blocking, despite being included in the register.
In total, the League demanded to block 113 sites. Access to 51 resources could not be restricted because of «being short of meeting the assessment criteria.» Another 35 sites were unavailable to experts. Eight resources were partially blocked.
