On Friday, a freedom of speech activist group reported that the Russian government has blocked access to a prominent blog-hosting service that carries many dissident voices from within the countries.

Back in the fall, the Kremlin put into place a much-derided-from-the-West “Internet blacklist.” When it was launched in November, Moscow blocked access to over 180 sites that it deemed were offensive to Russian interests. In particular, this blacklist was meant as a way to protect minors from pornography sites, sexual abuse sites, and sites that provide details about drug use and suicide.

LJRossia.org, “a non-profit project created to support freedom of speech, civil society, and encourage the free exchange of ideas,” is reportedly used by Russian journalists who openly speak out against the Putin government, including Andrei Malgin and Vladimir Pribylovsky. The site “has been targeted for publishing a large database of government misdeeds and for disclosing official documents that expose corruption,” according to an international non-profit group, Access.

Access wrote Friday that the entire site has been blocked on at least one Russian ISP, RosTelekom, supposedly over alleged publication of child pornography (Google Translate)

As we’ve reported previously, the Russian government has not exactly been a paragon of Internet freedom. But the Russian Pirate Party seems to be looking for ways around this blacklisting. earlier this month, it announced that it had created a hosting service, Piratehost.net—outside the country, obviously—to cater to such “undesireable” sites.

“We will set traps to protect our friends from visits from IP addresses owned by state agencies,” the Pirate Party promised in a statement. “To this end, we will create pages to filter Roskomnadzor [the state telecom watchdog and filtering agency] and other state agencies. We will track the addresses of those logging on these marker pages and add them to our blacklist. We have a response to the blacklists imposed by officials!”
