Russia said Friday it would block access to Facebook, adding to the country's growing isolation during the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia's media regulator, Roskomnadzor, said in a statement it was cutting off access in response to Facebook's decision this week to block Russian media outlets such as RT and Sputnik for people within the European Union.
"On March 4, 2022, it was decided to block access to the Facebook network (owned by Meta Platforms, Inc.) in the Russian Federation," the regulator said.
It cited "26 cases of discrimination against Russian media and information resources," actions it said are prohibited by Russian laws on the dissemination of information.

I want both sides to lose.
So Russia is blocking Facebook for blocking them. Got it.
Now they’re shaking.
Oh darn- now how are they going to know what each other is having for dinner!!!!
Zuckerberg had better get a move on with his new enterprise, because at the rate Facebook is going there won’t be a person on the planet they haven’t banned or hasn’t banned them.
Right now their main demographic are over 40 leftists.
BTW it couldn’t be happening to a greasier, pixie haired puddle of dog squeeze.
It’s a bit like following the eastern front in WWII. Frankly, I’m starting to feel that way about this whole war.
Some good has come out of this conflict!
Send the Chechens after Zuck
About three years I took facebook off my phone. About two years ago I manually unfriended all my friends, made my page public, and wrote a final, “it’s nothing personal” message, but left my page because I’ve stored a lot of pictures there that I found I can easily share on sites like this.
I still subscribe to a couple of groups there, and love the marketplace for local pick up, but that’s all I use it for.
At least we are not “meddling in their elections.”
(sarcasm)
Facebook blocks content, Russia blocked people accessing the site
They have a domestic facebook clone called vk. Russian facebook users are probably comparatively westernized.
I want Facebook to lose. I’ll always want Facebook to lose.
Facebook?
I may just change my mind about Putin yet. LMAO
I cut the cord cold a couple of years ago. Mark Zuckerberg is among the ten people on this planet I despise the most and I refuse to contribute a single iota to his well being.
“Russia says it will block access to Facebook for restricting Russian media”
It’s too late to try and look like the good guy, Vlad.
The best thing ANYONE can do is get the HELL OFF of FaceSuck!
Zuckerberg spent $400 million of the money people who use Fecebook gave him to rig our election in 2020.
Anyone who uses Fecebook contributed to that.
