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.
