The National Electronic Media Council (NEMC) has decided to restrict access in Latvia to the Russian e-commerce platform Ozon.ru, as well as to a number of other domains that, in the council's opinion, disseminate content that threatens state security and public order, reports the official publication "Latvijas Vēstnesis."
Ozon.ru is one of the largest multi-sector e-commerce platforms in Russia, offering goods in various categories.
In addition to Ozon.ru, the NEMC has decided to restrict access to the websites booksite.ru, znanierussia.ru, runi.ru, yauzashop.ru, burunen.ru, dobvesti.ru, sdelanounas.ru, www1.ru, and kp.ru.
The council notes that these websites generally disseminate one-sided and biased information about Russia's war in Ukraine, justify Russian military aggression, legitimize the annexation of occupied Ukrainian territories by Russia, and mobilize informational and public support for Russian soldiers.
Regarding Ozon.ru, the council emphasizes that this platform, alongside everyday consumer goods, offers so-called "patriotic" literature that glorifies and heroizes Russia's war against Ukraine.
