Andrei Klishas, head of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation, called for Whatapp and other Meta platforms to be blocked in Russia. According to him, permission to publish calls for violence against Russians is extremism.
“I assess this as extremism. There should be a complete blocking of these resources. Block all Meta resources,” the senator said in an interview with the publication. “Climb”.
Earlier, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office applied to the court with a request to recognize Meta as an extremist organization. At the same time, it is not yet known whether this means that all its users will be considered members of an extremist community.
The head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Mizulina, called on Russian users to leave Instagram and Facebook.
