Shocking news: Reddit may be blocked in Russia!

The Western Military District of the Vladimir garrison filed a lawsuit in the Leninsky District Court to block Reddit. The hearing on this case is scheduled to take place on May 11, 2023. In addition, the prosecutor’s office requested a ban on the dissemination of information from this popular forum in Russia.

The reasons why Reddit became the object of blocking remain unknown, but it is possible that they will become known on the day of the meeting. However, this is not the first time Russia has blocked foreign websites. Last week, for example, the rating aggregator Metacritic was blocked due to a “grass growing” simulator page.

If the block occurs, Russian users will have to look for alternative ways to access Reddit. But we hope that this will not happen and users will be able to continue to communicate and share information on their favorite forum.
