Lot of them. You can see a list here: https://reestr.rublacklist.net/

Do you see that red `1019855` in the top of that site? That's the number of "collaterals", sites which are not intently banned, but just happened to share some infrastructure with blocked ones, and suffering as well.

As a most clear example, there is 93.184.220.29, DigiCert's IP to serve revocation lists. It is banned since September 29, don't ask why. This basically means that GitHub, Facebook, PayPal, SUSE and ICANN websites all are either not opening or take 20-30 secs to load, depending on the browser. Degeneracy-free indeed!

> DigiCert's IP to serve revocation lists

Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that Russian internet user's browsers would not be aware of revocations? Or is there another way on this one?

Edit: obviously only mean revocations of DigiCert certs

Censorship is always abused. Once the infrastructure is in place, it's used for all kinds of things. They always start with the usual "think of the children" or "it's against terrorism" spiel, but sooner or later it's used to sweep anything inconvenient under the rug.

DMCAs aren't the same thing, but those are also abused to silence negative opinions.

If you give people a powerful tool, they tend to get funny ideas.

How do you know?

I heard there's a country where Entartung ("degeneracy") is illegal and in some cases punishable by death... oh wait, that's Nazi Germany, never mind.

Seriously, if you look at the countries that try to ban "degenerate" activity (which itself is a matter of opinion), the list isn't all that pretty. Singapore is probably the only one that's livable, but only if you relish the idea of living in a full-on police state.

Obviously you could try Russia, it perfectly fits this attitude.

People going to casinos are degenerates?

Recently you only could see blocked sites when surfing for porn or on aibs, because some activists hunted for CP (also drug stores and suicide manuals, though I never really seen these). Now I see blocks regularily on definitely-non-porn sites. Turn on Opera Turbo and it opens.

Tendency here is to quick-block-and-wait, and it is site owner who must prove, not they. "It seems like" is enough.

Btw, judge who blocked p*hub.com "didn't know it is popular".
