Russia fines Meta Platforms over ‘LGBT propaganda’, Ifax says

MOSCOW, April 26 — A Russian court today fined Meta Platforms Inc. 4 million roubles (RM230,000) for failing to delete posts that contained what it calls “LGBT propaganda”, the Interfax news agency reported.

A 2013 Russian law, decried by Western countries as state-enforced bigotry, bans the “promotion of non-traditional sexual relations to minors”.
