Russian Court Demands Facebook, Twitter & Telegram To Pay Heavy Fines

Russian District court Tagansky on Sept 14 has heavily fined US tech giants Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram for the delay in removing "illegal" content from their site. Reportedly, Facebook was fined about $21 million, Twitter about $5 million, and Telegram about $9 million. So far, none of the Tech giants have responded regarding the fines. This move is seen as a crackdown on the internet by Russia.
