Russia Bans Facebook And Twitter From It's Cyber Space 



Russia has completely blocked access to Facebook in retaliation for the platform placing restrictions on state-owned media.

It was later reported that it had also blocked Twitter. The Russian state communications regulator said access had been restricted, according to the state-owned Ria news agency.

Facebook and its sister platform Instagram have removed Russia Today and Sputnik from their output in the European Union this week and did the same with the UK on Friday, which drew an immediate response from the Russian communications regulator.

The Roskomnadzor watchdog said there had been 26 cases of discrimination against Russian media by Facebook since October 2020, with access restricted to state-backed news services like Russia Today and the RIA news agency. Last week the regulator had announced a ā€œpartialā€ block of Facebook, claiming that the social network had violated the ā€œrights and freedoms of Russian nationalsā€.

Nick Clegg, the president of global affairs at Facebook’s parent, Meta, said blocking the platform would cut off ā€œmillions of ordinary Russiansā€ from reliable information, deprive them of communications with friends and family and mean they were ā€œsilenced from speaking outā€. He said: ā€œWe will continue to do everything we can to restore our services so they remain available to people to safely and securely express themselves and organise for action.ā€

It comes as Russia seeks to control the spread of information on the invasion of Ukraine and to move against independent news sources. It follows the blocks imposed earlier on Friday on the BBC, the US government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle and Latvia-based website Meduza.

Meta said on Friday that it was blocking RT and Sputnik in the UK. It followed a request from the culture secretary, Nadine Dorries, in a letter a day earlier to TikTok, Twitter and Meta. Meta has already blocked the news organisations across the EU.

ā€œEarlier this week, we announced that we’d be restricting access to RT and Sputnik across the EU. Consistent with that action, and following a request.
