If you're too lazy Google translate from RU to EN: Roskomnadzor blocked cloud service Amazon Meduza 9:10, June 22, 2016 reliable source Roskomnadzor made in the register of banned sites domain cloud storage Amazon (s3.amazonaws.com). Address included in the register on June 21 , although the Internal Revenue Service issued a determination to do so in May. The reason for the ban is the domain that it posted a website where you can download the program for the game of poker. Under Russian law, not allowed to play poker. A spokesman for Roskomnadzor Vadim Ampelonsky told "Izvestia" that the agency turned to Amazon, but the company did nothing. On "Habrahabr" wrote that s3.amazonaws.com domain is already locked in the TTC and "Acad" providers. Many sites use Amazon S3 to store information. For example, Tumblr, Formspring and Pinterest pictures stored there. Roskomnadzor has repeatedly blocked critical internet services. At various times in the register got YouTube, GitHub and "Wikipedia".
