The company received a multimillion-dollar fine for failing to comply with the requirements, writes Reuters.
For several years, Russia has ordered foreign tech platforms to remove content it deems illegal, imposing small but consistent fines when it sees violations.
$77.9 million may not seem like a large sum compared to the 2 undecillion rubles with 36 zeros fine that a Russian court imposed on Google in October . The fine was imposed on Google because the company failed to comply with demands to restore the accounts of 17 Russian YouTube channels.
Recall that at the beginning of last year, Apple paid an antitrust fine in Russia of 1.1 billion rubles (about $13 million).
