The main hearing ended on 21 March. Then the Tver court, in the case of the Prosecutor General’s Office, banned the social networks Facebook and Instagram. WhatsApp Messenger is not banned. Now another lawsuit has been filed against the company – for the forced collection of the fine. However, there are questions about these intentions. Channel 24 understood the situation.

What’s wrong

• Meta, which systematically refuses to delete information prohibited by racists, is fined reciprocally.
• According to the database of enforcement proceedings, 1,990,985,000 rubles will be charged from the company.
• This is the minimum turnover penalty – 5% of annual income for 2020.
• The Federal Enforcement Agency initiated the enforcement process.
• However, it is not clear exactly how they will do this. Mark Zuckerberg’s company did not comply with the so-called “law of descent”, which requires large companies to open offices in Russia and store data on local servers. According, He has no property in Russia that can be confiscated in favor of the state.
• There is no explanation about this. This decision is likely to be symbolic, as it is doubtful that Meta will voluntarily pay the fine.
