Russian media watchdog Roskomnadzor is considering a complete blocking of Twitter in Russia if the social network does not respond to the agency’s claims within a month, Vadim Subbotin, deputy head of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, IT and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), told Sputnik.

Roskomnadzor will refrain from any further restrictions against Twitter over the next one month to see how the media platform will respond to its complaints, watchdog’s deputy head said on Tuesday.

At the same time, Roskomnadzor may impose measures, similar to those enforced against Twitter, also against other internet and social networking services, including Facebook, Youtube and Instagram, Subbotin said.
