A Moscow justice of the peace court fined the social network Twitter a total of 19 million rubles for not removing prohibited content.
According to TASS in the court’s press service, the court considered six administrative cases against the company.
Earlier, for failing to remove prohibited content, Twitter was fined 8.9 million rubles.
Since March, Roskomnadzor began slowing the social network’s speed in Russia. The agency threatened to apply similar measures to Google’s services.
On May 25, the court fined the latter на 6 млн рублей for failing to remove prohibited content.
Later, Roskomnadzor head Andrey Lipov said that the fines are an effective means of pressuring Google, and that slowing its services would not be pursued for now.
However, if the threats from any of the social networks outweigh the benefits, they will apply ‘more radical measures’.
Earlier, for failing to remove prohibited content, Russian courts also fined TikTok, VKontakte and Telegram.
