Forget all economic sanctions and the Russia shutdown of McDonald’s, Starbucks, Victoria’s Secret and Co. – the real nightmare for Russian bloggers and influencers has (only) come now: Putin has banned Instagram from Russia!
In fact, both Facebook and Instagram are currently subject to a total blockage in Russia, after social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and Co. had already attracted negative attention from the Putin regime at the beginning of its war of aggression in Ukraine, as they actively shared Russian channels with them propaganda reports had proceeded. As reported by The Guardian, citing a statement from the Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor, Meta’s social media platforms are no longer available in Russia for the time being. This blockade is justified by the decision of the Facebook and Instagram parent company to allow calls for violence against Russian troops in Ukraine (reported by eXXpress).
