Foreign tech giants including Twitter, Google, and YouTube are experiencing hard times as Russian authorities seek to tighten rules and regulations on information resources posted on the internet for the public.
The Federation Council and the State Duma, both houses of parliament, amended laws that monitor the overall operations and services offered by these tech companies.
The latest directives asked all foreign tech companies to remove all information resources critical about the government, politics, and business, so also information considered as promoting political extremism, child pornography, and other materials harmful to the society.
