Roskomnadzor gave the management of the social network Twitter a month to fulfill all the requirements, TASS reports. According to Vadim Subbotin, who holds the post of deputy head of the department, if the prohibited information is not deleted, Twitter may be blocked.
He noted that within a month the department will monitor the reaction on this issue. Further action will be taken depending on the results. If the social network continues to refuse to comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, they will consider the issue of blocking the service on the territory of Russia. If the company meets all the requirements, the sanctions will be lifted.
According to State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, the Twitter administration never entered into a dialogue with Roskomnadzor, even after the traffic was slowed down. The parliamentarian once again called the social network for dialogue. The regulator's instructions relate to content that is recognized as "absolute evil" around the world (suicide calls, child pornography, drug propaganda).
Twitter began to work slower on March 10 on all mobile devices and half of the stationary ones. Roskomnadzor explained that this is due to the refusal of the social network to comply with Russian laws. The primary slowdown is aimed at protecting Russians in order to enforce the Internet service to comply with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
The agency sent about 30,000 initial and repeated requests for the removal of illegal links and publications.
Last month, a law came into force in Russia, according to which social networks must independently identify and block prohibited content.
