RUSSIA BLOCKED ACCESS TO FACEBOOK AS PART OF ITS INVASION OF UKRAINE

  • 26/02/2022

During the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has restricted access to Facebook due to the platform's stance on the accounts of various Moscow-backed news sources.

Roskomnadzor, Russia's communications regulator, accused the network of "restriction" and "violation of Russian residents' rights and freedoms."

Facebook has refused to halt fact-checking and labelling information from state-owned news organisations, according to the company. The decision was made just one day after Russia launched an invasion on Ukraine.
