A representative of Meta (Facebook) did not comment on the court’s ruling on the appointment of a turnover fine in the amount of almost 2 billion rubles.
The man refused to answer questions regarding the court decision.
Earlier that day, a magistrate court in Moscow ruled to fine Meta Platforms (Facebook) for not deleting information prohibited in the Russian Federation. The amount of the turnover fine was almost 2 billion rubles.
As explained in Roskomnadzor, Facebook and Instagram have not removed more than 2 thousand materials with prohibited information, this threatens with new turnover fines.
On December 16, Meta Platforms imposed another RUB 13 million in fine for refusing to remove prohibited content.
On February 1, a law came into force in Russia, according to which social networks must themselves identify and block prohibited content. In the absence of an opportunity to independently assess the unlawfulness of the content within 24 hours, the administration of the social network must send the data to Roskomnadzor.
