The Facts

  • Meta Monday said Russian state media majors Russia Today, Rossiya Segodnya, and others were banned from its platforms globally for deceptive "influence operations."

  • Meta "expanded our ongoing enforcement against Russian state media" days after US officials blocked 32 such websites allegedly spreading disinformation.

  • It will reportedly begin enforcing the ban over the next several days. Russia, meanwhile, has denied running any disinformation campaign in other countries.
