Roskomnadzor told Reuters it was planning to send\u00a0Facebook\u2019s representatives in Russia an official notification saying it had repeatedly failed to remove banned information.<\/p>\n<p>That, it said, could lead to a fine of 5 percent or 10 percent of\u00a0Facebook\u2019s annual Russian turnover unless the situation is remedied.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u2019s violations include failing to remove posts containing child pornography, drug abuse and extremist content, the Vedomosti daily reported separately.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u00a0had no immediate comment.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow has increased pressure on foreign tech companies over the last year as part of a long-running push to assert greater sovereignty over its segment of the internet, including efforts to make companies store Russians\u2019
