Meta added to the list of terrorists and extremists

Rosfinmonitoring has included the American company Meta (recognized as an extremist organization in the Russian Federation and banned) in scroll organizations involved in terrorism and extremism. Meta belongs to the social networks Instagram and Facebook, both of them are blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation.

According to the law, banks are required to freeze the funds of persons included in this list and suspend servicing their accounts.

March 21 Tverskoy Court of Moscow acknowledged American company Meta by an extremist organization. The reason was the information that the management of Meta allowed users from Ukraine to call for violence against the Russian military.

Prosecutor General’s Office spokethat the use of Facebook and Instagram “not for the purposes of extremism” will not be considered as his support. American company court appeal did not satisfy. The March court decision did not apply to the WhatsApp messenger, also owned by Meta, since it does not publicly disseminate information.

Details – in the material “Kommersant” “What is not allowed is allowed”.
