Russia threatened to fully block Twitter within a month if it doesn’t delete content flagged by the government’s internet watchdog, escalating a conflict that has slowed access to the network since last week.
 
Twitter hasn’t responded to the Russian regulator’s repeated requests to remove illegal content.
