TASS reports that the head of Russia's communications watchdog Roscomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, threatened a new case against Google if it did not fall in line with the law.
In Russia, tougher internet laws have been introduced in the the past five years, which required search engines to delete some search results, messaging services to share encryption keys with security services, and social networks to store Russian users' personal data on servers within the country.
