Recall that the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation demanded that Roskomnadzor block the Instagram social network in the territory of the aggressor country, since “publications with calls to commit violent acts against citizens of the Russian Federation, including military personnel” are distributed on this network.. Blocking Instagram in Russia started on March 14.

Facebook has been blocked in the country since March 4 for “applying censorship to Russian media”.
