Facebook, Twitter and Telegram were fined another 35 million rubles due to undeleted posts

The magistrate of precinct No. 422 of the Tagansky district of Moscow fined Facebook 21 million rubles, Twitter 5 million and Telegram 9 million for refusing to remove materials at the request of Roskomnadzor. Mediazona was informed about this in the Tagansky District Court.

The judge reviewed five protocols on Facebook , one on Twitter and two on Telegram (Part 2 of Article 13.41 of the Administrative Code). The amount of fines for Facebook , according to TASS estimates , exceeded 90 million rubles, and for Twitter and Telegram - 45 and 35 million, respectively.

In March, Roskomnadzor began drawing up protocols on social networks - in addition to Facebook , Twitter and Telegram , these are also Instagram , TikTok, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and YouTube - since companies, at their request, did not delete or “did not promptly” delete information “involving teenagers" to participate in protests in support of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
