“No, the regulatory deadlines have not yet expired. The term for the payment of the fine expires on September 30, ”he told reporters on the sidelines of the WEF.

He suggested that Google, like other companies, "will pay this penalty at the last minute."

Zharov also said that Google so far has not increased the degree of filtering traffic.

“Everything fluctuates in the same parameters, about 70% of sites are removed from the unified registry of prohibited information,” the head of Roskomnadzor said.

In July, Google was fined by Roskomnadzor 700 thousand rubles for refusing to filter search results in accordance with the registry of information prohibited in Russia.
