Russia's public commissioner for protecting families has accused Netflix of violating Russian law on 'gay propaganda'.

The commissioner, Olga Baranets, complained to the Interior Ministry that Netflix was in breach of a 2013 law that bans disseminating "propaganda on non-traditional sexual relations" among Russians under the age of 18 when broadcasting LGBT-themed series with a 16+ label. Netflix declined to comment. The U.S. company could face a fine of up to 1 million roubles or a temporary suspension of its service if found to have violated the law, Vedomosti said.

The newspaper quoted a source close to Netflix as saying the company had earlier this month checked its offering of series and films about the lives of members of the LGBT community and found none with a 16+ label.
