A Moscow court has fined Telegram Messenger four million rubles (41,400 USD) for failing to remove content that is prohibited in Russia.
Telegram was found guilty of an administrative offense for failing to “remove information when such removal is required by Russian law,” according to the court press service.
The banned information that resulted in the fine was not specified by the court.
For a similar offense, Telegram was fined four million rubles in August 2024.
Telegram is currently one of the most popular messaging apps worldwide, with about 900 million users, and it has a significant following in Russia.
