The Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media has opened administrative proceedings against the US-based Google LLC, the regulator’s press service told TASS on Monday "The company is charged with the failure to comply with the requirement of Russian laws concerning non-removal of information banned in Russia from search results," the press service said.

"Google does not remove up to 30% of dangerous content from search results," it added.

Administrative proceedings were opened in respect of repeated commitment of an administrative violation in terms of the failure of the search engine operator to perform its responsibilities, the watchdog said.
