Russia Facebook Ban: Facebook banned in Russia! Revenge for action taken on government backed accounts

Russia Facebook Ban: Facebook limited access to accounts linked to the Russian government after Russia's attack on Ukraine.


Russia on Friday announced a ' partial ban' on Facebook . This has been done by Moscow because the social media company had limited access to several Russian government-backed accounts after the attack on Ukraine. Russian state communications agency Roskomnadzor said on Friday it called on Facebook to lift restrictions imposed on Thursday on state news agency RIA Novosti, state TV channel Zvezda and pro-Kremlin news sites Lenta.Ru and Gazeta.Ru. The agency said Facebook has not reinstated the media outlets.

According to Roskomnadzor, the restrictions on the accounts included marking their content as untrustworthy and placing technical restrictions on search results to reduce the audience on Facebook. Roskomnadzor said its "partial ban" on Facebook is effective from Friday. Also said that it is not clear what exactly this step means.


Russian media accounts have not been banned 

In its official statement, Roskomnadzor announced its action as a measure to protect the Russian media. It also said that Russia's Foreign Ministry and the Prosecutor General's Office found Facebook to be involved in violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms as well as the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens. This version has been corrected to show that Facebook is banned, but Russian media accounts have not been banned.



Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Russia does not want to "occupy" neighboring Ukraine and that Moscow is ready for talks with Ukraine after the Ukrainian army laid down its arms at the call of President Vladimir Putin. . Lavrov made these remarks after talks with Sergei Persada, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Vladislav Denego, Foreign Minister of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), according to Russia's state-run news agency 'Tass'. A day after Russia's military campaign against Ukraine began, Lavrov said no one was going to occupy Ukraine.
