Roskomnadzor Finds No Grounds for Minecraft Block in Russia Amid Scams
Previously, instances of scammers operating within the game were reported, with their activities found to be linked to the Telegram platform.
Roskomnadzor has confirmed that it has not yet received any requests from Russian law enforcement agencies to impose a block on the popular game Minecraft.
Representatives from the agency clarified that access to online resources containing fraudulent or misleading socially significant information can only be restricted based on a court decision or a specific demand from the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation. According to their statement, no such judicial rulings or demands have been issued concerning Minecraft.
Earlier reports highlighted cases where perpetrators utilized Minecraft to identify children, subsequently moving their communications to Telegram. There, these individuals, impersonating "cybersecurity employees," would coerce children into stealing money from their parents.
It is also important to note that the game Minecraft itself is officially unavailable for download or purchase in Russia through major platforms such as Steam, the App Store, and Google Play.
