MOSCOW—A Russian court on Tuesday said it had fined U.S. social media companies Facebook and Twitter for failing to delete content that Moscow deems illegal, part of a wider crackdown by Russia on the internet and Big Tech.
The Tagansky district court said Facebook had been handed five fines totaling 21 million roubles ($287,850). Twitter received two fines of a total of 5 million roubles ($68,550), it said.
