Reddit Responds After Being Threatened, Banned And Unbanned By The Russian Government
http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/13/reddit-responds-after-being-threatened-banned-and-unbanned-by-the-russian-government/ The entire site was blacklisted and banned yesterday for a number of users in Russia following a clear threat made by Russia's FCC, the Roskomnadzor, to remove a thread about growing psychedelic mushrooms that had been posted on the site ... Yet, within hours the site was mysteriously unbanned, leading many users to question what was actually going on. Well apparently, following the blacklisting, Reddit checked their email and quickly took action, removing access to the offending post. - - - Russia doesn't like a post -- so Reddit deletes it. Getting an idea of how global Right To Be Forgotten will work under Putin?
