Social network TikTok is facing a fine of four million rubles (about 64,700 euros) for failing to remove content from its platform that, according to Russian law, promotes "anti-traditional values" such as feminism and LGTBI rights, a Moscow court has ruled.

Judge Timur Vajrameev, of the Taganski district, has told that this Tuesday that the Federal Service for Communications and Media Supervision--Roskomnadzor--has filed a complaint against the mentioned social network for "propaganda of non-traditional values", as well as for "distorting traditional sexual values".
The next hearing in the case will resume on October 4. The financial penalty of four million rubles is the highest a company can face if it refuses to remove content banned by the legislation, Russian news agencies have reported.
The one that has been sentenced to pay three million rubles (around $50,000) is the Twitch platform for refusing to delete an interview with the advisor to the Ukrainian Presidency, Alexei Arestovich.
The company was found guilty of promoting false information about the invasion of Ukraine, known to Russia as "special operation", and refusing to rectify it.
