The decision to ban the Internet Archive appears to be the work of Russia’s Attorney General, meaning that police determined that the website contains extremist content. Because the Internet Archive uses https, some Russian ISPs will have to block the entire website in order to comply with the blacklisting, since encrypted traffic won’t allow them to differentiate between different pages of the same site.”
