The company was found guilty under Part 2 of Article 13.41 of the Administrative Code (violation of the procedure for restricting access to information, access to which is subject to restrictions in accordance with the law).
The maximum punishment the courier faced was a fine of 4 million rubles. Recurrence implies the imposition of a fine based on turnover. The court did not specify what service information was the reason for the administrative sanction.
In 2024, the court fined TikTok twice under the article for violating the procedure for restricting access to prohibited content: in July for 4 million rubles and in November for the same amount. Thus, the total amount of fines imposed on the courier this year amounted to 11 million rubles.
In May, Roskomnadzor told Interfax that the service removed more than a thousand prohibited materials in 2023-2024 at the request of the RKN. In March 2022, TikTok suspended its operations in the country due to a law to discredit the Russian military.
