The website of OKX, a Seychelles-registered crypto exchange, was blocked in Russia, according to Roskomsvoboda, a local NGO (non-governmental organization) that is monitoring online censorship.
The reasons for the ban are unknown and no previous public comments related to OKX has been voiced by the agency. CoinDesk couldn't locate the original document, and OKX didn't respond to a request for comment.
The ban also can be found in the official database of Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet censorship agency. OKX's website was blocked according to the article 15.3 of the federal law, On the Information, Information Technologies and Protection of Information, according to Roskomnadzor's registry. The article covers public calls for extremist activities and information about organizations banned in Russia.
Roskomnadzor and Roskomsvoboda's names are similar as the freedom-of-speech advocates mocked the censorship's agency brand by replacing "nadzor" (oversight in Russian) by "svoboda"...
