Due to the fact that the Twitter online service in the period from 2017 to the present does not remove content that incites minors to commit suicide, containing child pornography, as well as information about the use of narcotic drugs, Roskomnadzor sent over 28 thousand initial and repeated requests on the removal of illegal links and publications.

As of March 10, 2021, 3168 materials with prohibited information (including 2569 with calls to commit suicide by minors, 450 with child pornography, 149 with information on drug use) remain not deleted. The latest vivid example was the demonstrative disregard of the requirements of the regulator (unlike other social networks, Twitter did not delete the materials) to remove calls to minors to commit mass suicide on March 3, 2021 (recall that on this day, according to law enforcement agencies, several attempts were prevented committing suicide by minors).

In accordance with the law "On information, information technology and information protection" (149-FZ), the dissemination of information via the Twitter Internet service is included in the list of threats.

In order to protect Russian citizens and forcing the Internet service to comply with the legislation on the territory of the Russian Federation in relation to Twitter, since March 10, 2021, centralized response measures have been taken, namely, the primary slowdown of the service's operation speed (according to the regulations). The slowdown will be implemented on 100% of mobile devices and 50% of stationary devices.

If the Internet service Twitter continues to ignore the requirements of the Law, the measures of influence will be continued in accordance with the regulations of the response (up to blocking) until the calls for committing suicide by minors, child pornography, as well as information about the use of drugs are deleted ...
