Meta Bans Russian State Media Outlets Including RT Globally for Foreign Interference

Sep 17, 2024, 03:21 AM

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, announced on Monday that it has banned Russian state media outlets, including RT and Rossiya Segodnya, from its platforms globally. The decision follows accusations from the Biden administration that these outlets acted as arms of Moscow's intelligence agencies. Meta alleges that the banned entities used deceptive tactics to carry out influence operations while evading detection. The ban is part of Meta's expanded enforcement against foreign interference activity globally.
