  • A Russian court has penalized Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL Google 6 million roubles ($81,810) for failing to delete content deemed as illegal by Moscow, Reuters reports based on TASS news agency.
  • The Russian communication watchdog also threatened to slow down Google’s traffic following failure to delete illegal content.
  • Earlier this year, Russia slowed down Twitter Inc’s TWTR internet speed for failing to remove content deemed illegal by the country after repeated warnings.
