Since when has Freedom started to block sites on political reason? rt.com is blocked

Frankman000

I cannot access rt.com anymore with Freedom on, Not even with browser protection and tracking protection turned off. It seems F-Secure has decided to block it all together. How many others sites they are blocking? Is there somewhere a list of these "politically" blocked sites?

Hello @Frankman000

Welcome to the F-Secure Community. Thank you for your post.

The blocking of sites like rt.com is not due to political reasons,however, it is enforced by law for all operators in the EU. F-Secure is just following this law. The Finnish version of this law can be found at this link: https://www.traficom.fi/sites/default/files/media/file/Muistio%20mediapakotteiden%20toteuttamisesta%20avoimen%20internetin%20asetuksen%20valossa.pdf.
