This is not the first time Russia blocked Adult sites.Russian authorities regularly censor content on websites and social networks, and have cracked down on internet porn in the past. In April, Roskomnadzor announced plans to block 136 adult sites, including the Russian version of xHamster, though its list did not include Pornhub, one of the world's most visited websites.
The ban was issued after a court in Krasnodar ruled that Pornhub and the other ten sites violated Russian laws on protecting children from "harmful information," and that the sites illegally produced and distributed pornography. The specific content that triggered the ban remains unclear.
