Russian Media Watchdog Slows Down Twitter Traffic Speed Over Violations

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has announced it will slow down Twitter’s traffic speed in Russia starting on 10 March over the social network’s failure to remove illegal content.

The watchdog has accused Twitter of failing to remove content inciting minors to commit suicide, child pornography, and information about the use of banned drugs. Roskomnadzor added that information spread via Twitter had been “added to the list of threats” in compliance with the law “On information, information technologies and information protection”.

If Twitter continues “to ignore legal requirements” it may even be blocked in Russia, the watchdog added.
