MOSCOW, March 9. /TASS/. Daily expenses of the informational attack against Russia in the Internet amount to about $12 million, says Yekatrina Mizulina, Director of the Safe Internet League and member of the Russian Civic Chamber, adding that such platforms as Instagram and YouTube take no measures to restrict the dissemination of fake information.

"Overall, daily expenses for this campaign amount to about $12-12.5 million every day. The Safe Internet League notes with regret that, despite the restriction of advertisements in Russia, Instagram and YouTube platforms take no measures to restrict the dissemination of fake news and calls for illegal actions, as well as calls for violence. Support services of both platforms do not react to mass complaints from the users," she said.

According to the Safe Internet League experts’ assessment, a total of over $150 million have been spent already on dissemination of fake news and disinformation about Russia within the context of the recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and the special military operation in Ukraine.
