On December 16, the Magistrate's Court of the Tagansky District of Moscow fined Twitter 10 million rubles and imposed an administrative penalty on Meta (Facebook) in the amount of 13 million rubles for not removing content prohibited in the Russian Federation under five Roskomnadzor protocols.

Foreign IT companies have committed administrative offenses provided for in paragraph 2 and paragraph 4 of Art. 13.41 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The fine for each administrative case on the basis of the ILV protocol under clause 2 can be from 800 thousand to 4 million rubles, and under clause 4 it is already more serious - from 3 to 8 million rubles.

As a result, today the court fined Twitter under two RKN protocols (one under Part 2 and one under Part 4 of Article 13.41 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation) 3 million rubles and 7 million rubles, respectively. Meta (Facebook) received three fines (one under Part 2 and two under Part 4 of Article 13.41 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation) for 3 million rubles and two for 5 million rubles.

Twitter now has fines under the RKN protocols for not removing prohibited content from the beginning of 2021 in the amount of 48.4 million rubles. The debt for all current fines Meta (Facebook) is 64 million rubles, but the company at the end of November paid half of the fines.

On November 1, 2021, Roskomnadzor reported on its Telegram channel that since the beginning of the year, the department has issued protocols to Russian and foreign social networks and services, according to which the court imposed fines in the amount of more than 190 million rubles for failure to delete prohibited information. So far, only three foreign IT companies have paid the fines - Facebook, TikTok and Google. Other companies have started an appeal process against them, but the Russian court has already denied them several times in their complaints.
