So is it your livejournal that is linked to in the "suicide.rst" post?

What's up with the bans on suicide mentions? Is the topic growing because the public feels without hope as the poem seems to suggest, or is Roskomnadzor just tying to keep busy?

Livejournal blog linked there is a throwaway account of some unknown person, however I suspect Russian poet Leo Kaganov to be the author.

this. just some bureaucrats being enthusiastic to assert their power.

Still, I'm surprised they bother with github being such a specialized website.

Do you know of other surprising examples of sites getting takedown request because of "immoral behaviour" (or whatever the name is)? Does the suicide list when hosted on bitbucket get taken down? On deviantart? Etc

They banned vimeo for ISIS video just day before github. They also banned youtube and vkontakte before.

They are just targeting all popular resources on purpose to make public case.

Vimeo works fine though (as is youtube, or course) :)
