Twitter has been accelerated in Russia.  Roskomnadzor partially removed measures to slow down traffic

On May 15, the deadline allotted to the Twitter administration for the removal of materials, the distribution of which is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation, expired. Roskomnadzor checked the results of the social network’s work to bring its activities in line with the norms of Russian legislation.

Based on the results of the check, taking into account the efforts made by the administration of the social network, it was decided not to block the Twitter service, remove access restrictions on fixed networks (respectively, associated Wi-Fi networks), while maintaining the slowdown of Twitter traffic on mobile devices.

The agency appreciates the efforts of Twitter to comply with the requirements of Russian legislation.

The check showed that Twitter moderators removed over 91% of prohibited information. At the moment, 563 messages with child pornography, narcotic and suicidal content, calls for minors to participate in uncoordinated mass events, as well as extremist and other materials prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation, remain unreleased out of 5.9 thousand prohibited materials identified by the department.
