the Facebook parent company had temporarily suspended its hate speech rules against Russia in the context of the Ukraine war. The move allowed users to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers on Instagram. The company later clarified the policy would not allow posts that call for the murder of Russian leaders.
Russia claimed the move violated “fundamental human rights and freedoms,” while MetaRussia was blocking efforts to conduct independent fact checks and label misleading content on Facebook. The Kremlin has attempted to clamp down on a host of social media sites, including YouTube and Twitter—which is also banned in the country—after the platforms took action to restrict the spread of Russian disinformation related to the Ukraine war.
Taste of their own medicine really.
