MOSCOW, September 26 (RAPSI) – Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor has notified Facebook, Gmail and Twitter of the need to register as “information distribution organizers,” Izvestia newspaper writes on Friday, citing the regulator’s deputy chief Maxim Ksenzov.

The amendments to the law On Information, Information Technology and Information Protection and other related laws, which are informally referred to as the law on bloggers, became effective on August 1 this year.

The law now requires individuals whose blog attracts a daily readership of more than 3,000 to take on the full responsibilities of media outlets.
