| Direct Translation via Google Translate Edited. [Regnum] The Tagansky Court of Moscow imposed a fine of 3 million rubles on the Wikimedia Foundation for failure to remove information prohibited in Russia from the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia. This was reported on Tuesday, March 19, by the press service of the court. “The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc has been sentenced to an administrative fine in the amount of 3 million rubles,” RIA Novosti quotes the text of the message. At the same time, it is not specified what kind of information is being posted. Previously, Wikipedia was repeatedly fined in Russia for posting prohibited information. As Regnum reported, on April 13, the Wikimedia Foundation was fined 2 million rubles for failure to remove fakes about the Russian Armed Forces, namely for refusing to remove false information about the actions of the Russian army in the Zaporozhye region. On April 20, a court fined an American company 1.5 million rubles for refusing to remove false information about a special military operation. On March 3, 2024, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Anton Gorelkin said that Wikipedia could be blocked in Russia under a new law banning the popularization of VPNs. According to him, the Internet encyclopedia contains information on ways to bypass blocking. Gorelkin also drew attention to the fact that Roskomnadzor has a number of claims against Wikipedia, many of which have received court decisions. |
