I noticed that ria.ru (owned by Rossiya Segodnya) was blocked by my UK consumer ISP around the date of the letter, but it has remained accessible via a UK mobile network. Is the mobile provider exempt from the Ofcom ruling, or have they just failed to implement it?



https://ria.ru/ works for me on my BT DSL, and they aren't shy of doing what they're told

That site uses google tag manager too. If there are international sanctions should google really be providing services?


Interesting, turns out it's blocked for me on BT DSL if I use BT's DNS servers -- but if I use Google DNS, it works fine.


Working as intended. DNS isn't supposed to be centralized.

It's just morphed that way, because that's where the money/power is.


DNS is centralised, by-design: that’s what the root nameservers are. I feel it’s better described as a “delegated” rather than a “distributed” system.


Many of these various governmental blocks are implemented (badly) via DNS restrictions.


Link works for me on my parents’ Virgin Media cable internet too, with stock DNS DHCP settings.


It's blocked for me on 3 but not on Vodafone.
