The head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov company called Facebook, Twitter and Google to comply with the requirements of Russian legislation and reminded that if they continue “illegal actions” in Russia, the law allows you to impose on the company sanctions.

Earlier in may, an official letter to Google, Facebook and Twitter directed the Deputy head of Roskomnadzor Maxim Ksenzov. He pointed out that these companies do not comply with the requirements of the Russian law on bloggers, not submitting the requested data on the daily attendance of a number of custom pages, as well as data. For failure to provide these data, there is a penalty: up to 300 000 rubles – for legal entities, for repeated violation – up to 500,000 rubles or administrative suspension of activity for up to 30 days.

In his letters Ksenzov also indicated that if the company takes action to remove from their websites, “information containing appeals to mass riots, extremist activities or participation in unsanctioned public events, Roskomnadzor will be obliged to restrict access to an information resource where this information is posted”.

Previously Ksenzov said that Twitter itself “substitutes its users”. He explained that the microblogging service runs over https://, which does not allow the technical systems used for thin lock individual pages of the sites, to identify encrypted traffic. “Thus, the locking of a single illegal “tweet” automatically leads to the fact that without access to the resource remains his entire audience. Suffer law-abiding users,” – said the Deputy head of Roskomnadzor.
