A Moscow court banned Meta Platforms’s Facebook and Instagram in Russia on Monday, in what was the first use of the country’s sweeping law on"extremism" against a foreign technology company. It marks the latest escalation against the company since President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. Regulators blocked access to Facebook and Instagram earlier this month. The designation would make it possible to bring criminal charges against any employees in Russia but the company has none.
The law has been used to target Putin’s political opponents, including jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Since the attack on Ukraine, independent media outlets have also been slapped with the label, effectively barring them from Russia.
