A Russian court has fined the Telegram messaging app around 11 million roubles ($142,210.73) for refusing to remove banned content which the authorities regard as extremist, the state-run RIA Novosti said on Wednesday.
The state communications watchdog said on Tuesday that Telegram would face further restrictions from the authorities because it has failed to correct previous violations
