Fact Check: Russia Claims Massacre in Bucha 'Staged' by Ukraine.

'The fact is, if we applied our standard content policies without any adjustments we would now be removing content from ordinary Ukrainians expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces, which would rightly be viewed as unacceptable.' 'I want to be crystal clear: our policies are focused on protecting people's rights to speech as an expression of self-defense in reaction to a military invasion of their country,' Clegg said. Meta's president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said in a March 11 statement that Facebook will continue to allow Ukrainians to post political dissent or calls for violence against Russians in the context of war. In March 21, a judge in Moscow's Tverskoy District Court banned Facebook and Instagram after labeling Meta as 'extremist,' accusing the site of inciting and encouraging violence against Russia in the wake of the Ukraine invasion. Russian state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor previously asked the courts to fine Facebook for not deleting what it considered unlawful content and promoting unsanctioned protests in the country, reported The Associated Press last October.

The fine was imposed for what Russia said was a 'systematic failure to remove prohibited information.' Enforcement proceedings began on March 24. Russia has launched proceedings to send bailiffs to collect a fine from Facebook for failing to remove 'prohibited information.'Īs reported by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti, Federal Bailiffs Service (FSSP) officials are once again seeking fines from the social media site for publishing what the country referred to as 'fake' information about its invasion of Ukraine and 'unauthorized' anti-Kremlin protests.Īccording to the FSSP, Meta-the parent company of Facebook-has been fined nearly 2 billion rubles ($23.8 million), which they have not paid.
