Meta has decided to ban several Russian state media networks globally, specifically citing their use of deceptive tactics to conduct influence operations and evade detection.
The decision comes after rising scrutiny on Russian state media for attempting to sway politics in Western countries, with calls from the EU, UK, and Ukraine to limit their reach.
This move represents an escalation in Meta's approach, expanding upon previous measures that only limited advertising and content distribution from these outlets.
Earlier accusations against RT indicated that it engaged in misleading marketing practices, paying firms to produce content that effectively masqueraded Russian government messaging.
