Roskomnadzor (RKN) has blocked the site of the Etsy online store since December 1. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the department.
“Since December 1, 2021, the Internet resource etsy.com was blocked by Roskomnadzor on the basis of a court decision in the city of Tambov,” the message says.
< p> The interdistrict prosecutor applied to the court. He pointed out that the “gucci replica” page of the Etsy website contains information advertising and selling Gucci brand accessories with delivery within Russia. However, it was found that there is no information on agreements with copyright holders. The court recognized this information posted on Etsy, prohibited for distribution in Russia.
At the same time, Roskomnadzor blocked not only the page with the prohibited information, but the entire site. The agency explained that Etsy works over the HTTPS protocol, and chiseled blocking does not work for such sites. Roskomnadzor stressed that in order to remove the blocking, information recognized as prohibited must be removed from the site.
