[Regnum] The Tagansky District Court of Moscow fined Apple 800,000 rubles for failure to remove prohibited content. “The court decided to find Apple Distribution International guilty of an offense under Part 2 of Art. 13.41 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (failure by the website owner to delete information if the obligation to delete such information is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation),” a TASS correspondent reported from the courtroom. The process took place behind closed doors at the initiative of Apple. The company refused to remove the book Mein Kampf, the autobiography of National Socialist German Workers' Party leader Adolf Hitler, from the Apple Books app (the book is listed on the Federal List of Extremist Materials). As Regnum reported, on January 17, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) imposed a fine of 1.1 billion rubles on Apple. The company had to pay it within two months. In November 2023, it became known that Apple was fined 12 million rubles for repeatedly refusing to localize the data of Russians. A court in Moscow found the company guilty of committing an administrative offense. On November 21, 2023, the Tagansky Court of Moscow fined the Telegram messenger 4 million rubles for refusing to delete information prohibited in Russia. In addition, in June of the same year, the owner of Wikipedia was fined for refusing to remove an article about Azov (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). The organization was imposed a fine of 3 million rubles.
