A Russian court has fined Twitter USD116,778 for violating the country's Internet legislation by failing to remove banned content banned. Part of the content in question urged minors to take part in illegal protests, promoted drug use and spread child pornography, reports BY Xinhua news.

According to Russia's TASS News Agency, Moscow's Tagansky District Court handed Twitter a total of 8.9 million rubles in fines (USD116,778) for refusing to delete tweets urging minors to join an unauthorized and illegitimate event.

 Twitter has two months to pay the fine from the day the ruling comes into force. Last month, Russia's telecom REGULATOR Roskomnadzor started to limit Twitter's traffic due to its failure to remove banned content and warned about the possibility of completely blocking the micro-blogging site.

The court was set to consider three more protocols that the Russian media watchdog had filed against Facebook. The consideration of three similar protocols against Google has been postponed to May 4.

Twitter last month announced to establish a legal entity in Turkey to continue operating there under the country's internet law that came into place last year. "We will continue to work to protect the public conversation in Turkey, empowering people to have access to that conversation, and advocating for our values," the micro-blogging platform added.
