On 17 January 2018, European Information Society Institute filed its third-party intervention before the European Court of Human Rights in the OOO Flavus v Russia case and 4 other applications.
The case concerns blocking of the three major political opposition websites and other websites which were blocked directly by the telecoms regulator Roskomnadzor on behalf of Prosecutor General without a court order. The decision of the Grand Chamber will thus have a significant impact on the issue of over-blocking and safeguards against collateral blocking of websites in Europe, and especially in the Russian Federation.
