A spokesman for Roskomnadzor, Vadim Ampelonsky, told RIA Novosti that the agency, at the request of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Russia, entered a number of social media posts about the incident at the Kristall plant in Dzerzhinsk.


“We received a request from the General Prosecutor’s Office, which contains instructions on social media posts related to the events in Dzerzhinsk. The Prosecutor General’s Office recognized the information disseminated in these reports as unreliable, ”he said.

According Ampellonskogo, messages of this kind pose a threat to public safety.

“According to the law, these messages should be promptly deleted,” the representative of Roskomnadzor concluded, noting that the agency sent notifications to site administrators and hosting providers.
