Roskomnadzor unblocked RuTracker
Russia’s largest BitTorrent tracker, RuTracker, has been removed from Roskomnadzor’s list of banned websites. The torrent tracker was banned in 2015 by a decision of the Moscow City Court, but has been unblocked in response to bans on the suspension of the release of Hollywood films in Russian distribution. Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov did not rule out the possibility of approving the use of pirated software in response to sanctions.
