The department will continue to interact with the administration of the social network.
Roskomnadzor in its Telegram channel reportedthat measures to slow down Twitter traffic are being extended until May 15 this year. So far promised blocking will not be applied, since the social network has deleted about 1.9 thousand out of 3.1 thous. materials with child pornography, pro-narcotic and suicidal content prohibited in Russia.
RKN also noted that the Twitter administration has increased the rate of removal of prohibited materials. Of the 650 new links to prohibited content that appeared, about 580 were removed. The average deletion time is 81 hours, while according to Russian law, social networks are given 24 hours to delete prohibited information from the moment they receive a notification.
The removal of all measures to slow down traffic will be considered only after the removal of all prohibited content, added to the RKN. The new decision on the social network will be made after May 15.
Recall that the download speed of media files on Twitter in Russia is decreasing
from 10 March. Social network users reacted to this decision with humor.
