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.

Apple on Tuesday named insider Sabih Khan as its chief operating officer, taking over from Jeff Williams, as part of a long-planned succession.

Khan, who has been with Apple for 30 years and is currently the senior vice president of operations, will take on the new role later this month, the iPhone maker said in a statement.

Before joining Apple's procurement group in 1995, he worked as an applications development engineer and key account technical leader at GE Plastics.

Williams will continue to report to CEO Tim Cook and oversee the company's design team and Apple Watch.

The design team will report directly to Cook after Williams retires late in the year.
