Do svidaniya RUD 17 million because it does not delete content only.
Facebook reportedly paid a fine of RUB 17 million or the equivalent of about $ 230,000 following the company's failure to delete content deemed illegal by Moscow.
According to Russian news agency Interfax, although Facebook has paid the fine, there is still a risk of facing larger fines in the future.
In addition to Facebook Meta, Google's Alphabet is also facing court cases on suspicion of repeatedly violating Russian law regarding content displayed and could be fined a percentage of its annual revenue in Russia.
Meanwhile, Interfax also stated that the Telegram application had also paid a fine of RUB 15 million for the same offense.
To date Moscow has continued to put pressure on world tech giants in a campaign that critics have described as an attempt by Russian authorities to impose tighter controls on Internet users linked to threats of restrictions on individual and corporate freedoms.
