Facebook owner Meta said on Monday it was banning RT, Rossiya Segodnya and other Russian state media networks, alleging the outlets used deceptive tactics to carry out influence operations while evading detection on the social media company’s platforms.
“After careful consideration, we expanded our ongoing enforcement against Russian state media outlets. Rossiya Segodnya, RT and other related entities are now banned from our apps globally for foreign interference activity,” the company said in a written statement.
About time.
Being The Guardian, I would take all this with a pinch of salt.
Good, facebook has the most propaganda vulnerable demographics on them. This will make a difference.
Way too overdue but better late than never, I guess
Tomorrow: “Announcing: ‘RT1’ the newest page to get your totally unbiased news that agrees with your biases.”
