decided to block access to sites 17 cryptocurrency exchange services with formulation: "In defense of the interests of the Russian Federation and an indefinite circle of persons". Simply put, in the absence of any complaints and injured.
Group access blocking was carried out based on the results of a prosecutor's audit of the implementation of the legislation “On Information, information technology and information protection, as well as legislation, regulatory legal relations in the field of cash turnover ".
List of exchange offices, blocked by the decision of the next district court, can be found on the site
Roskomvoboda. What is immediately noticeable when viewing the list of blocked pages - almost all of them belong to one of the types of exchange - BTC for rubles in Sberbank. Looks like, that the Bashkir prosecutors simply entered one of the aggregators of cryptocurrency exchange, eg, Bestchange, and walked down the list from top to bottom, How much patience was enough. "Surviving" exchangers remains to rejoice, that they set a less profitable course for this time, and the prosecutor’s office collecting the prosecutor does not like to click too much by links.
Immediately after blocking, some of the exchangers have already begun to create "mirrors", Therefore, their work will slow down for a short time.
The decision to block
Based on materials from the Kushnarenkovsky court, “During the monitoring of the Internet, the availability of resources was established through public search engines, When the transition to which there is information about the possibility of anonymous exchange, Cashing, cash transfer, as well as cryptocurrencies, using electronic payment systems ".
“Entrance to the Internet resource is free, Registration of users for access is not required. To familiarize yourself with the content and copy materials in electronic form, any user can. Restrictions on their transfer, Copying and distribution are absent ", – It is said in a court decision.
The legal basis of the monetary system of the Russian Federation and its functioning, defined by the Federal Law of 10.07.2002 No. 86-ФЗ "On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia "), which establishes a ban on receiving funds by cashily their cashing using foreign payment systems, without entering your personal data, on the terms of anonymity.
The court came to the opinion, that in accordance with ST. 12 Civil Code of the Russian Federation, way of protecting civil rights, in particular, suppression of actions, violate the law or pose a threat of its violation by citizens of the Russian Federation, There will be a blocking of sites of crypto exchange companies and their introduction to the “Unified register of domain names ... containing information, The spread of which is prohibited in the Russian Federation ".
Cryptocurrency exchange offices, According to the court from Bashkortostan - "wrong bees", and IX work illegal. However, After the Cryptocurrency exchangers reckoning the Bank of Russia to potential sources of dubious operations, district courts in hunting for “prohibited” cryptocurrency services can feel much freer.
The history of the issue
The judicial system of the Russian Federation does not protect the interests of persons investing or using cryptocurrencies due to the lack of a legal field to regulate cryptocurrencies, And the dissemination of information over the Internet, advertising services and services, associated with cryptocurrencies, sooner or later, They can lead to sanctions from the regulators. Meetings are held without notice
or call the defendant to court, and decisions are made according to a pre -agreed typical scenario.
Cryptocurrency exchanges fell under the lock on the basis of a court decision, how it was with EMMO, Localbitcoins, Btc-e и Вittammp. Courts do not bypass their attention and cryptocurrency media, telling users about the news and technology of crypto industry, How it happened to Bits.media, Cointelegraph
и coinspot.
but, It would be wrong to draw the future of the crypto industry only with gloomy colors. The cryptocurrency community consistently conveys its point of view and achieves understanding from the regulators and judicial authorities. Almost all solutions to block cryptocurrency sites, whose owners appealed to higher courts, were canceled.
