The US app has been accused of including LGBTQ+ characters in learning materials
The company behind the popular language learning application Duolingo has been warned about potentially violating Russian law, TASS reported on Wednesday. The nation’s media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has demanded the US-based company check its educational content for “LGBT propaganda.”
Duolingo was “warned about a ban on publication of any materials promoting non-traditional sexual relations,” Roscomnadzor told TASS, adding that it has requested the makers of the app to remedy any legal violations, but have not yet received a response.
The US-based company drew the attention of the Russian authorities in early February, after a local human rights group flagged the app’s educational materials for containing LGBT characters. According to the group, school students in Siberia had to deal with the tasks provided by the app that involved descriptions of gay relations. Roskomnadzor did not confirm the claims at that time and Duolingo has issued neither a confirmation nor a denial.
