The Russian government said that it was slowing access to Twitter, accusing it of failing to remove illegal content and signalling that the Kremlin is escalating its offensive against American internet companies that have long provided a haven for freedom of expression. According to report, Kremlin's move was a landmark step in a country where the internet has essentially remained free despite Putin's "authoritarian rule".
