A judge in the Tverskoy Court of Moscow has ruled to ban Meta based on Facebook and Instagram for engaging in \u201cextremist activities,\u201d as initially reported by Russian state-owned media outlet TASS<\/em><\/a>. Judge Olga Solopova said \u201cThe court has ruled to grant the Russian Prosecutor General\u2019s Office\u2019s lawsuit,\u201d according to Interfax<\/em><\/a>. The ban will block Meta from doing business or opening new branches in the country and will take effect \u201cimmediately.\u201d It doesn\u2019t include WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

Last week, Facebook and Instagram outlined a moderation policy allowing users in Ukraine and other eastern European countries to call for violence against Russian soldiers<\/a>. The platforms initially told moderators to allow posts with calls for the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, but later narrowed its policy with guidance explicitly banning calls for violence against Russian citizens or any heads of state, according to Reuters<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the company\u2019s operations are subject to a ban in connection with the engagement by it in extremist activities,\u201d an official for Russia\u2019s communications regulator Roskomnadzor said during the hearing, according to a report by Interfax<\/em><\/a>. The Russian prosecutor general\u2019s office requested the ban, along with Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service (FSB). <\/p>\n

TASS<\/em> quoted an FSB officer arguing that \u201cMeta\u2019s activities are geared against Russia and its armed forces. We insist Meta\u2019s activities be banned immediately.\u201d According to the outlet, representatives for the prosecution said that the use of Facebook and Instagram would not make individuals liable for participating in extremism, however, TASS <\/em>also cited lawyers saying that purchasing advertising on the services could be viewed as financing extremism.<\/p>\n

Roskomnadzor placed bans on access to Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> earlier this month after accusing both platforms of discriminating against content from Russian state media, as both platforms have moved to demote content from any state-backed outlets<\/a>. Facebook has also blocked access to the state-owned outlets RT and Sputnik in the European Union<\/a>, as well as banned Russian state media from advertising on the platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
