Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, announced a worldwide ban on RT and other Russian state media for foreign interference activities following U.S. sanctions.
Meta's ban on Russian state media follows escalative measures initiated after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, aimed at curbing the spread of disinformation on its platforms.
The U.S. State Department has indicated that Russian state media outlets like RT are operating as part of a covert influence operation to undermine democracies.
Before the ban, RT had significant followings on Facebook and Instagram, indicating its far-reaching influence prior to being designated a security concern by U.S. officials.
