The corresponding statement was published on the website.
“The EX.UA resource has decided to stop working. Over the past year, EX.UA has had to experience direct threats, blackmail (including at the interstate level), and DDOS attacks. These actions endanger the personal information and personal files of users that are stored on the resource.
EX.UA worked in the legal field. Not everyone liked this interpretation of the legislation, but the resource has always respected the laws of Ukraine. EX.UA adhered to copyright, which was constantly confirmed by a quick response to any violations on the site. At the same time, the resource does not approve of the system of distribution and management of copyrights that has developed today,” the statement says.
The message also called on all users to remove files from their archives on EX.UA by November 30.11.2016, XNUMX.
Recall as PolitNavigator previously reported, Ukrainian cyber police, at the request of the Americans, blocked one of the largest file hosting services in Ukraine, fs.to. Criminal proceedings began after an appeal from rights holders participating in the Motion Picture Association of America.
Let us note that a similar “attack” by law enforcement officers during the time of Viktor Yanukovych on the same EX.UA file sharing service in 2012 led to large-scale unrest among Ukrainian Internet users. People massively collected signatures for petitions, hackers attacked the pages of the SBU and other Ukrainian departments, politicians actively commented on what was happening on TV. Today, the closure of the most popular file hosting service and the blocking of another file sharing service with an audience of millions is taking place in the deafening silence of society.
