- Case Summary
The Miroviy Court of the Pushkin Judicial District (Miroviy Court) fined an online publisher for failing to place an age disclaimer on a video shared through its platform, despite the platform’s logo including a 16+ designation. The video depicted a fictional member of the Russian parliament partying with prostitutes, misusing public funds, and using profanities. In its decision, the Miroviy Court relied on various employment and administrative laws to clarify that the definition of online “media production” includes the acts of creating and designing a website, as well as the dissemination of online content, thus expanding the potential liability of online publishers.
- Case Significance
The decision does not establish a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
