A Moscow court on Thursday said it had fined Twitter 3 million roubles ($136,000) for allegedly failing to delete content banned by the Russian government, the latest in a string of penalties issued against U.S. tech companies this year.

The press service of the Tagansky District Court confirmed the penalty to the Russian state-owned news agency TASS.
