The agency sent Google a total of 26,000 notifications about alleged illicit content. It estimates that the search engine failed to delete, on average, between 20% and 30% of links, including some 5,000 offending links on YouTube, a Google-owned video hosting site.
Google plans to take Roskomnadzor to court in Russia over its demand to take down 12 YouTube links to calls for unauthorised protests in January. Google faces a fine of up to $54,000 and a tenth of a company's annual revenue in case of repeated inaction.
