Russia’s telecom watchdog temporarily blocked access to Google’s search engine this week over links to a banned online gambling domain.

On Thursday, many Russian internet users temporarily lost access to the Google.ru domain due to one of the search engine’s pages containing a redirect to an online gambling domain associated with Russian bookies Fonbet, leading some local internet service providers (ISP) to block access to Google.ru.

In June 2016, Russia’s Federal Tax Service ordered the Roskomnadzor online sentinel to include the offending Google.ru domain on the telecom watchdog’s ever expanding blacklist of prohibited websites. Google was given one year to remedy the redirect but apparently took no action before their window of opportunity expired.

Many Russian ISPs have automated their blocking systems to keep pace with the frightening volume of domains that Roskomnadzor adds to its naughty list – and thereby avoid the hefty new fines for failing to act in a timely manner – which resulted in the “access limited” warnings some Russians discovered when trying to load Google’s search engine on Thursday.
