Russian websites blocked?!?

It seems that EE has moved to censor some russian websites, like rt.com.

I have absolutely no need for a nanny or ministry of truth to tell me what to consume, or what not to consume, or why, or when.

How can I get the ban lifted? I am definitely over 18, if it matters.

@walking_aimless

Nothing to do with EE, it is a legal requirement passed down by OfCom to block such sites..

There is no legal way round this..

So blame the UK Government for blocking this access, as nothing EE can do, but follow the order

@walking_aimless Sorry to say but it’s not blocked as it loads for me. If it’s a case of age related content then you need to prove to EE that you’re over 18 you can do this by calling customer services and paying with a credit card a refundable token or you can go to an EE store with photo ID to request this.

@walking_aimless Just I realise it loads up for me because I’m using iCloud private relay. @MozzaSec Is right with what they’ve put.
