Hello Voat! 3 days ago (January 31, 2017) Voat was officially blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor (the govt. agency responsible for upholding various censorship laws in Russia.)
RKN's registry for blocked sites says that the court order to block Voat was filed on the 25th of January, but it was enforced 3 days ago.
This (nfsw!) post has blocked THE ENTIRELY OF VOAT (a similar thing happened with Reddit.) Now, the only thing we can do is make some noise, and hope that RKN unblocks Voat.

And ya know..i cant say I completely disagree with that. I woukd bet there are valid arguments against its censorship. But i dont know if that truly counts on the slippery slope. All in all I dont see allowing that content as a necessity for free and open expression
