Access to GitHub, the world’s largest software development platform, has deteriorated in Russia, the independent Russian news outlet Verstka reported, citing data from the internet censorship monitoring service OONI.
Disruptions began on May 5, when the rate of failed connections reached 10 percent. By May 6 and 7, that figure had climbed to 16 percent — well above the preceding weeks’ average anomaly rate of no more than 4 percent.
Roskomnadzor, Russia’s internet regulator, said it is not blocking access to GitHub’s services.
