Meta bans Russian state media outlets on Facebook and Instagram

Meta has banned Russian state media outlets, including RT, from Facebook and Instagram due to concerns over foreign interference and disinformation tactics. This decision follows accusations from the Biden administration about RT's role in spreading propaganda related to the invasion of Ukraine. The ban, which Meta expects to enforce within days, builds on earlier restrictions placed in Ukraine and reflects ongoing tensions between Meta and Russian authorities, which have led to social media blockages and legal actions against Meta in Russia.
