The head of the Instagram said that it is a wrong step by Russia to block the access to the social media platform of citizens as this decision will affect about 80 million users.
A temporary easing of rules confirmed by the parent company Meta to allow calls to violence to Russian invaders on its social media platforms. Moscow takes a decision to restrict access to Instagram after that.
The Head of the Instagram Adam Mosseri shared on the twitter that, “In Russia, Instagram will be blocked. It will cut about 80 million citizens in Russia off from one another and also the connection from the rest of the world because outside of their country 80% of people of their country follow Instagram account.”
Meta has eased the hate speech policy. After the Russian invasion started, residents of Ukraine have left the war-hit country.
The global affairs president of Meta Nick Clegg said that the hate speech policy of Meta has been eased for the citizens of Ukraine.
