March 10,2021 Russia said Wednesday it planned to slow down Twitter for users in the country over what it said was the social media platform’s failure to remove “illegal” content. Moscow in recent months has put Western tech giants like Facebook and Twitter under increasing pressure for failing to take down calls to participate in anti-government demonstrations. Russia’s media watchdog said in a statement its decision to restrict Twitter’s services was intended to “protect Russian citizens” and force the company to comply with Russian law.
