Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law banning the distribution of advertisements on the information platforms of "extremist and undesirable" organizations. Platforms such as Instagram and Facebook (which are banned in Russia) will also be affected by these amendments.
The law specifies that both advertisers and distributors of advertising will be held accountable for violations of the ban.
Penalties for such offenses are outlined in the Code of Administrative Offenses. Individuals who violate the advertising law could face fines of up to 2,500 rubles (approximately $30), officials may be fined up to 20,000 rubles (approximately $240), and legal entities could incur fines of up to 500,000 rubles (approximately $6,000).
