Russia Slaps $117,000 Fine On Twitter For Not Removing Disputed Post
Microblogging platform Twitter has been fined $117,000 for not deleting protest-related posts in Russia. The Russian authorities, on April 2, slapped Twitter with three fines, asking to pay the amount in 60 days. Moreover, the officials claimed that the undeleted posts encouraged minors to join protests. While Russia alleged Twitter to deny deletion of posts related to pornography, drugs usage, and other banned topics, Twitter has refused to comment.
