I believe those are Russian sites. Perhaps Putin doesn't wants a better image
of Russia than that of a provider of pornography, especially since they are
surrounded by Muslims and Chinese where porn is prohibited to watch, not just
distribute.
I can remember when it was illegal in the USA to even watch porn in the privacy
of your own home. That was also a time when Americans had much higher moral
values than they do today.
Also, porn has a Jewish origin. At least it was one of the things that Hitler
blamed on the Jews, and Larry Flynt, real name Al Goldstein, was instrumental
in making it legal in the USA.
As far as Putin, the only people I have ever met who found porn distasteful
were women, including my mother, my wife, my aunt, wives of my fiends, in fact
every women I have ever met who wasn't a prostitute.

Subject: [sparkscoffee] Russia Bans Porn
It's 0137 MST here in the Arizona Desert. The nights are now cooling
off and the highs are now mostly below 100 degrees.
Hope all of you had an enjoyable weekend.
I see Putin is feeling threatened by Studs on the XXX videos. Might his
manhood be somewhat on tiny side?:-D

Russia is cracking down on internet porn. They want their citizens to go
out and get a date. The government-controlled Internet
watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has ordered internet providers to block Porn Hub
and YouPorn. In May of 2016, a judge ordered the
sites banned for violating "the ban on the dissemination of information
regarding the production of pornographic materials and
paraphernalia." Under Russian law, watching porn is not illegal, but
filming or disseminating it is, according to article 242 of the
Russian Federation's Criminal Code. Russian porn hounds didn't take it
sitting down. There was a lot of backlash which the
Roskomnadzor replied: "meet someone in real life." Porn is not the only
target of the Roskomnadzor. In the past, they have also
banned such websites as Wayback Machine, Wikipedia, and Reddit for pages
that discussed content on child pornography, terrorism,
and cannabis. Those websites caved in and implemented server-side
filters for Russian users. All bans were later lifted.
