Twitch hit by ₽4million fine and Vladimir Putin’s regime is already targeting other creators
Twitch has been fined 4,000,000 rubles ($68,000 USD) after being targeted by Russia’s fake news laws.
The streaming platform was fined following an interview it conducted with Oleksiy Arestovych, the adviser of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Twitch was also fined in August for failing to delete a “31-second fake video” of a girl from Bucha, Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities have accused Russia of committing war crimes in the city, while Russia denies the accusations.
