Such accounts, whose activities connected with the spread of the official position of the Russian Federation in the international arena, are subject to censorship by foreign Internet platforms. However, there is currently no effective means of protecting such accounts - current legislation requires blocking platforms that violate the right of Russian citizens to disseminate information.
