Russia threatens to block Twitter – Jauns.lv

“Twitter is not responding to our requests, and if it continues to do so, it will be blocked out of court in a month’s time,” the official warned.

The social network can avoid blocking by referring contacts to the issue of deleting prohibited information, he added.

“Roskomnadzor has not yet” recorded any concrete steps for Twitter to remove the banned content, “Subotin said.

On March 10, Roskomnadzor said it was slowing down Twitter because the platform had not deleted information banned in Russia.

Restrictions apply to video and photo uploads. Mobile data traffic is slowed down by 100%, but fixed – by 50%.

The regulator later said that three administrative protocols had been sent to the magistrates’ court.
