Russia’s state communications regulator said on Monday it would extend its move to slow down Twitter until May 15.

It alo said that the US social media company was deleting content banned in Russia at a faster rate than it had been.

Earlier in March, Russia announced that it was slowing down the speed of Twitter in retaliation for what it described as a failure to remove banned content.

It also threatened to block the US platform outright if it did not comply with its deletion demands.

Britain's competition regulator on Tuesday said it was proposing to designate Google with "strategic market status" to give it greater control over how the US tech giant operates search services.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said steps it could take included making it easier for users to access different search providers and ensuring fair ranking principles for businesses appearing on Google search, Reuters reported.

It also proposed more transparency and control for publishers whose content appeared in search results if it goes ahead with the designation in October.

Google will be the first company designated since the regulator gained new powers this year.

Google said the move could have significant implications for businesses and consumers in Britain.

"We're concerned that the scope of the CMA's considerations remains broad and unfocused, with a range of interventions being considered before any evidence has been provided," said Oliver Bethell, Google's senior director for competition.
