State Duma deputies adopted in the third and final reading a law obliging social networks to remove illegal content.

Now social networks are obliged to remove materials with obvious disrespect for society, state power, an insult to human dignity, calls to participate in unauthorized rallies, and much more. A complete list can be found on the State Duma website.

In addition, the law defines the concept of a social network. According to the document, this category includes all sites with a traffic of more than 500 thousand people per day. To track such Internet resources, Roskomnadzor will create a special register.

Note how in sync is goes with EU laws.
