Roskomnadzor drew up a protocol against TikTok for an administrative offense, the reason being the publication of videos dedicated to the LGBT community on the social network.

A court in Moscow imposed a fine of two million rubles ($27,000) on TikTok for promoting LGBT relations and refusing to remove the content, which is prohibited in Russia, Interfax has reported.

“The court found TikTok guilty under part 2 of article 13.41 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (failure to delete information by the owner of the site if the obligation to delete is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation), [and] imposed a fine of 2 million rubles,” Judge Timur Vakhrameev said announcing the decision.

It was previously reported that Roskomnadzor – the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media – drew up a protocol against TikTok for an administrative offense, the reason being the publication of videos dedicated to the LGBT community on the social network.
