A court in Russia's Urals city of Yekaterinburg canceled the registration of the It's My City website on July 19 at the request of media watchdog Roskomnadzor. In March 2022, Roskomnadzor blocked the site over its coverage of anti-war rallies. It's My City said on Telegram that it will continue its work as the law allows its journalists to publish news and texts without registration, but bans them from getting accreditation for public events. The media outlet was established in 2012 and covers news and current affairs in Yekaterinburg. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
