[BRAVO, Russia!]
The US-based company behind the popular language-learning application Duolingo has agreed to remove content potentially violating Russian “LGBT propaganda” laws, the country’s media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has announced.
“The Duolingo company sent a response letter to Roskomnadzor, in which it confirmed that it had removed materials promoting non-traditional sexual relationships from its educational application,” the watchdog told TASS in a statement.
Russia has increasingly tightened its legislation on “LGBT propaganda” since the early 2010s, first banning its dissemination among minors and ultimately expanding the prohibition to adults in 2022. The stance got even tougher last November, when the Russian Supreme Court designated the “international LGBT public movement” as an “extremist” group.
The ban stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the Russian Justice Ministry, which asked the top court to impose it, arguing that the movement had been involved in “incitements of social and religious discord” as well as showing unspecified “extremist traits.” - RT
