The move by the agency Roskomnadzor comes after weeks of demonstrations in Moscow over the exclusion of some opposition and independent politicians from the Russian capital's city council ballot.
More than 200 people were reported arrested Saturday after some participants in an authorized rally moved into the heart of the city. Roskomnadzor said Sunday it complained to Google about unspecified"structures" allegedly using YouTube channels to send push-notifications about unsanctioned gatherings,"including those aimed at disrupting elections."
The agency says that if Google does not address the issue, the company's response would be considered interference in Russia's affairs and Russia will have the right to retaliate.

LOL. Russia telling US Media what to do now, 2020 is looking just fair as hell
About time google is doing something right!!
Make Putin pay Google do not grant him what he demands
kenm77 Unbelievable
Way to go, Google. By the way, who would bother to show up for a 'sanctioned' demonstration? A demonstration sanctioned by Russia would only be government sponsored propaganda.
Awww.... 🖕🏻Russia.
HELL NO
Too bad Putin. WE can't interfere in your elections because the voters receive a ballot that is already marked.
10,000 protesters breach Indian curfew in the disputed Jammu and Kashmir state to protest the revocation of their political autonomy.
Imagine that! Social media encouraging dissent in Putin’s playground!
Keep exposing russia for how corrupt they're.
As will 🍊if we let him.
People ain’t stupid and will not be stupid forever. The government can’t do shit with public data so sorry not sorry.
That’s funny. Russia telling a US company to stay out of their politics. 🖕🏾 off Russia
Because of the history that is in fact a needed precaution. Kreml is not worried about political activism, Kreml is worried about a revolution. The international interest does not harm Russia, it makes it stronger. Russia`s head does its best also.
Too many spooks spoil the wrath... Russia's media oversight agency is demanding that Google take actions to stop its YouTube subsidiary from allowing users to send information about unsanctioned demonstrations.
Now say it in English is what they are complaining about that was the reply.
If this happens, realDonaldTrump will demand the same.
