Twitter Accused of Breaking Law in Russia

A Russian agency that regulates media said the micro-blogging site Twitter had refused 108 requests for account information and was "consistently not satisfying the requirements of the Russian law", the state-run news agency TASS reported. Alexander Zharov, the head of Roskomnadzor, was also quoted as saying Twitter had refused its requests to block some accounts.
