  Yesterday 2 wordpress IPs – 76.74.254.120 and 66.155.9.238. were banned by the Russian Internet blacklist (ЕДИНЫЙ РЕЕСТР
  доменных имен, указателей страниц сайтов в сети “Интернет”).

  10 000 blogs are banned by several Russian providers with no explanation to their owners. The reason is supposed to be ‘the distribution of information which have been prohibited for distribution in Russia by court decision’. But I’m pretty sure most of the blogs (if not all) were absolutely harmless and contained usual everyday information.

  Can wordpress do something about it?!

  Thanks! I hope something will be done to make those stupid providers change their mind or better pay some money penalty for what they have done!
