Russia has blocked access to Facebook after the Facebook administration cracked down on a number of pro-Moscow accounts that spread news about the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russian officials have accused Facebook of “censorship and violating the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens.”<\/p>\n

But Facebook says it has rejected a request from Russian officials to stop the pro-government media from finding out the truth about the news.<\/p>\n

The move comes a day after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russia’s media watchdog has demanded that Facebook lift restrictions on state-run RIA Novosti, state television and pro-Kremlin websites.<\/p>\n

Facebook says it has ignored demands from Russian officials.<\/p>\n

“Russian authorities have ordered us to give up the fact-finding mission, but we have refused,” said Sir Nick Glitch, deputy director of international affairs at Facebook’s Meta.”<\/p>\n

“We urge Russian citizens to use the Meta service,” he said.”<\/p>\n

“The Russians are using our apps to express their feelings and we do not want them to continue to use our services to make their voices heard,” he said.”<\/p>\n

Many pro-Russian media outlets have given a positive picture of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and called the invasion a “special military operation” that Moscow was forced to carry out.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, Facebook said it had set up a special center to monitor content posted on the Ukraine crisis.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (February 25), US Senator Mark Warner said that Facebook, YouTube and other social media have a clear responsibility to ensure that they are not used for human rights violations.<\/p>\n

The Facebook administration is under pressure to address misinformation and is working with news agencies such as Reuters to address the issue.<\/p>\n

Moscow has also stepped up pressure on the domestic media, threatening to block reports that it has “incorrect information” about the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
