Russia partially restricts access to Facebook over censorship claims
the move is in response to parent company Meta restricting the official accounts of four Russian media outlets. It said Meta was violating Russian law by doing so.
Roskomnadzor asked Meta for an explanation and to remove the restrictions on Thursday. After the company"ignored" the demands, officials decided to restrict access to Facebook, a measure Roskomnadzor says is in accordance with the law. The watchdog claims to have recorded 23 cases of"such censorship of Russian media and Internet resources by Facebook" since October 2020 .
