Roskomnadzor plans to hold 33 telecom operators liable for failing to comply with the requirements for installing technical means of countering threats (TMCT). These hardware and software systems are needed to filter traffic containing prohibited content. A total of 35 violations were identified on operators' networks.
Court hearings have already taken place on four counts, and the violators have been fined. Materials on six counts have been sent to court. The remaining operators were summoned for the drafting of violation reports.
Fines for such violations vary depending on the status of those held liable. Officials will have to pay from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles, individual entrepreneurs from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles, and legal entities from 500,000 to 1 million rubles.
For repeated routing of traffic bypassing TMCT, officials and entrepreneurs face criminal liability under Article 274.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with up to three years of imprisonment.
RKN noted that the blocked content is classified as a threat to the security and stability of the Runet.
