Humorous public MDK blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation
The epic with the blocking of the MDK public has come to an end. Today, at about 3:30 Moscow time, access to this VKontakte group is de facto blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation.
As announced in court, each of the 695 public albums contains 400-600 photographs that are pornographic in nature and can affect children's mental health. In addition, the community published texts with profanity and pictures that offend the feelings of believers.
The blockage was carried out by Roskomnadzor six months after the decision of the Smolninsky District Court of St. Petersburg dated October 27, 2015. The decision was disputed in court, but in February 2016 the city court of St. Petersburg left it in force .
Documents from the court for three months could not reach Roskomnadzor . The decision of the city court was sent back to the Smolninsky court, the expedition of the case continued until March 14. At the end of March, the press service of the Smolninsky Court was told that the case was allegedly sent to the prosecutor’s office of the Central District. On May 6, a representative of the court press service explained the situation: it turns out that the court should not have sent the case to them, and they did not receive it.
As a result, the authorities still managed to complete a complex bureaucratic procedure - and a copy of the decision reached Roskomnadzor. Since May 21, the address has been entered in the register of prohibited resources on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Co-founder and director of MDK Roberto Panchvidze on his page on Instagram wrote that "it was a glorious hunt."
The community vk.com/public10639516 remains available through a proxy, as well as from other countries, including Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Interestingly, the administration of "VKontakte" went to meet the creators of the public and now automatically transfers subscribers to another address . As of May 21, the MDK group had 7.4 million subscribers.
