The changes are temporary and the situation will be constantly monitored
The company Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, hastened to clarify that the new policy, which has caused a lot of controversy, will be applied only in Ukraine.
As a reminder, Meta previously allowed Facebook and Instagram users to call for violence against the Russian military and Vladimir Putin. As a result, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia asked to recognize Meta (Facebook) as an extremist organization, and Instagram has already begun to block in Russia.
Meta Vice President Nick Clegg stated that the changes “are aimed at protecting people’s rights to free speech as an expression of self-defense in response to a military invasion of their country.” He added that the company “had no quarrel with the Russian people,” and there was no change in the policy of negative speech “concerning the Russian people.”
“We will not tolerate Russophobia or other types of discrimination against Russians on our platform,” Nick Clegg said. The vice president of the company also said that the changes are temporary, and the situation will be constantly monitored.
