Russia’s communications regulator, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, has blocked the instant messaging app Discord for violating Russian laws. The communications regulator made the decision after finding the app at fault for 5 violations under the law governing social networks.
According to the Russian communication regulator, Discord failed to prevent users from leveraging the app for terrorism and extremist use. The regulator also faulted the messaging app for allowing the unlawful posting of information, drug sales, and onboarding of Russian citizens to commit them.
The regulator insisted that since Discord falls under the social network category, it should have worked toward removing any unlawful content by itself. The watchdog fined the messaging app approximately $36,150 for the violations, in addition to the implemented restrictions.
