Reddit faces first fine in Russia for not deleting ‘banned content’

Social media site Reddit faces being fined for the first time in Russia for not deleting “banned content” that Moscow says discredits the Russian army, the Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday, citing a Moscow court.

Reddit joins a list of sites under scrutiny in Russia for failing to remove content that Moscow deems illegal, including Wikimedia, streaming service Twitch, and Google.
