Roskomnadzor has added the Discord and Yappy platforms to the register of social networks.
Roskomnadzor officially recognized Discord and Yappy as social networks and entered them into the relevant register.
Now the register of social networks includes 15 sites, including VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram, LiveJournal, Pikabu, Zen, Rutube, YouTube, Likee, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest, Twitch, Discord and Yappy.
The agency noted that on Tuesday, March 12, the owners of these social networks were sent a notice of inclusion in the register.
Social networks are obliged to independently identify and block prohibited content: child pornography, information on suicide and others.
On March 1, a ban on the popularization of VPN services and the publication of ways to circumvent blocking came into force in Russia.
