MOSCOW: Russia's state communications watchdog has asked Google to stop advertising"illegal mass events" on its YouTube video platform, it said on Sunday.

It said Russia would consider a failure by Google to respond to the request as"interference in its sovereign affairs" and"hostile influence and obstruction of democratic elections in Russia". Over the past five years, Russia has introduced tougher laws requiring search engines to delete some search results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services, and social networks to store Russian users' personal data on servers within the country.Moscow has a track record of putting regulatory pressure on Google, one of the main rivals of Russian internet search company Yandex .
