Russia stood firm on a ban on two major porn websites. Russia’s communications watchdog blocked widely-watched sites Pornhub and YouPorn after courts in the far eastern city of Vladivostok and the southern Voronezh region ruled they distribute pornography.
Pornhub, which says is the world’s number one free pornography site, responded with a cheeky tweet, offering it premium subscription in return for lifting the ban.
Russia has cracked down on the internet, one of the last open forums for political debate, jailing users purely for posts on social media.
