History

2022: Roskomnadzor blocked Jooble job search site

On April 4, 2022, it became known about the blocking of the Joble job search site. This happened a few weeks after the service closed access to Russians and Belarusians, and also condemned the Russian special operation in Ukraine. According to the registry of Roskomnadzor, the Joble site was blocked at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office on March 25, 2022. The regulator blocked the Russian and Belarusian versions of the site.

The basis for entering the resource in the blocking register was Article 15.3 of the Federal Law "On Information, Information Technologies and on Information Protection." It regulates the procedure for restricting access to sites that contain calls for riots, extremist activities or participation in illegal public events. According to the SimilarWeb analyser website, 5.9 million people visited the Russian version of the Jooble website in January 2022, 95% of them from Russia, and 1.2 million from Belarus.

Roskomnadzor blocked Joble job search site

The Roskomsvoboda project estimated that from February 24 to April 1, 2022, more than 1,500 sites and links were blocked due to the fact that they contain information on Russia's special military operation in Ukraine that does not meet official requirements. Among the resources to which the regulator limited access are large news or socio-political publications with their mirrors, portals of industrial and IT companies, Internet resources of a purely entertaining nature.

According to Jooble, the competing service for finding vacancies and jobs - Indeed.com - also decided to completely stop working in Russia. Service blocked all vacancies placed by the rossiyskimiVPK-companies.^[1]
