TikTok Claims Russia Not Given Special Treatment Despite Deleting Protest Posts After Kremlin Request
3 hr
TikTok claims it did not give Russia “special” treatment after it agreed to a request from the Russian government demanding it delete posts of street protests supporting Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
Despite removing the posts, the social media site was fined 2.6 million rubles (£25,000) by Russia in April for not getting rid of the videos of the demonstrations and calls for teenagers to join the protests quickly enough.
Other social media giants have also been issued with fines.
Elizabeth Kanter, UK director of government relations at TikTok, told members of the House of Lords that they had treated Russia’s requests to delete content in the same way as any other country.
