Russia’s Federal Agency for Judicial Enforcement has announced that Facebook has paid a 17 million rubles (about $240,000) fine for refusing to remove prohibited content.
The authority indicated that it no longer has any enforcement actions against Facebook.
She also explained that “as of last February, the Federal Agency for Monitoring Communications, Information Technology and Media (Roscomnadzor), is editing administrative protocols against social networking sites and messenger services, which refuse to remove publications that violate Russian laws, especially those calling for participation in Unauthorized activities.
And last April, a Moscow court imposed a fine of 8.9 million rubles (equivalent to $119,082) on Twitter under three administrative protocols submitted by the Russian Consumer Protection and Control Authority, for Twitter’s refusal to delete posts inviting minors to participate in illegal demonstrations. .
