MOSCOW, Oct 5 ― Facebook has complied with Russian demands to delete some banned content, but it could still face a hefty fine as it was slow to do so, theRussia has increased pressure on foreign tech firms in recent months as part of a long-running push to assert greater sovereignty over its segment of the internet.
Roskomnadzor threatened Facebook last week with a fine of up to 10% of its annual Russian turnover unless it deleted content that Moscow deems illegal. Experts cited by Vedomosti estimate Facebook's Russian turnover at between 12 and 39 billion roubles . Reuters could not immediately verify those estimates.
Roskomnadzor said Facebook had taken down banned content from its platform as well as from Instagram, but that it could still face the fine on turnover because it had not deleted the content quickly, the newspaper reported.You May Also Like
