The article discusses the problem of legal regulation of online publications from the perspective of Article 11 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Mass Media» and Article 13.23 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The author casts doubt on the administrative practice of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technologies and Mass Communications (Roskomnadzor), when online publications are subjected to administrative penalties because they update their content at a frequency different from that stated in the frequency of publication when registering with Roskomnadzor. The article attempts to give an interpretation of the concept of “periodicity” and to justify why periodicity and updating in the legal context are not synonymous words.
