Meta Bans Russian State Media Outlets for Foreign Interference

Meta has announced a global ban on RT and other Russian state media networks, citing deceptive influence operations and foreign interference activities.

Meta's decision follows U.S. sanctions against RT and other Russian state media for alleged covert influence campaigns.
Russian state media outlets like RT and Rossiya Segodnya are accused of using deceptive tactics to amplify Kremlin propaganda.
The ban affects all Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov condemned the ban, calling it an act of censorship and a discredit to Meta.
The U.S. alleges that RT has been involved in fundraising for military equipment and spreading disinformation globally.
