Ban on Khodorkovsky-founded outlet follows
Kremlin threat to block entire social network
Russia’s media watchdog has told
Twitter to delete the account of an opposition news outlet following threats from
Moscow to block the social network entirely if it did not remove “banned content” within a month.
The moves are part of a wider crackdown on
Social Media and the opposition after
protests supporting the jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, which were organised via online platforms.
