JAKARTA – Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, Meta Platforms Inc has restricted some accounts in Ukraine. Not only Ukraine, some accounts belonging to Russian state media organizations, at the request of the Ukrainian government, were also restricted.

The news was delivered by the company's head of global affairs Nick Clegg in a tweet on Sunday, February 27.

"Ukraine also suggested that we remove access to Facebook and Instagram in Russia. However, people in Russia use FB and IG to protest and organize against the war and as an independent source of information," said Clegg, quoted by Antara, Monday, February 28.

Clegg also said the Russian government had already restricted the Meta platform to prevent this activity and that shutting down its service would "silence important expressions at a crucial time."
