Russia Unblacklists Google

Internet giant Google’s IP address was temporarily blacklisted for the second time over the weekend due to a computer glitch, Russian media and communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said on Monday. “There was a software failure. The system incorrectly identified the host provider’s address. So the notification went out to the wrong address,” Roskomnadzor press secretary Vladimir Pikov said, adding the mistake was promptly fixed. One of Google’s resources contained banned materials and the case will soon be reviewed again, he said. According to the watchdog’s register, IP address 173.194.71.132 was put on the blacklist (zapret-info.gov.ru) on Saturday and removed at 11 a.m. Moscow time on Monday. (The legal ground of the black list is the recently adopted law informally known as "the Internet Censorship Act.")
