The Russian government announced that Twitter will slow down on Wednesday, March 10. According to Russia's Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, Electronic Media and Publishing (Roskomnadzor), authorities have dealt with child pornography, substance abuse and content that encourages minor suicide in the last four years. Despite sending more than 18,000 deletion requests to Twitter, 3168 of them are said to remain undeleted.

For the above reasons, authorities have announced that they will slow down Twitter on 100% of mobile devices and 50% of fixed devices 'to protect Russian citizens.' Authorities also said that if Twitter continues to display content that has been requested to be deleted, it will be completely blocked.

In response, a Twitter spokeswoman said, 'We are promoting open internet around the world, and we are concerned about this kind of blocking and deprivation of online discussions. I want to keep in mind that we have a zero-tolerance policy for sexual exploitation of children, and anything that beautifies or recommends suicide or self-harm violates Twitter's rules, and I They do not allow Twitter to be used for illegal activities, including drug trafficking.
