Meta to Restrict Access to Facebook for Russian-Controlled Media

Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. said it would restrict access to Russian state-controlled media RT and Sputnik through its services across the European Union. “We have received requests from a number of governments and the EU to take further steps in relation to Russian state-controlled media,” Nick Clegg, Meta president of global affairs, wrote in a tweet. “Given the exceptional nature of the current situation, we will be restricting access to RT and Sputnik across the EU at this time.”
