USA (bbabo.net), - The Ministry of Justice of Russia has entered the American company Meta Platforms (banned in the Russian Federation) into the register of extremist organizations.

Thus, Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram and Facebook, has added to the “List of public associations and religious organizations in respect of which a court has made a final decision to liquidate or ban activities on the grounds provided for by the federal law “On countering extremist activity.”

American multinational holding company Meta Platforms Inc. on the sale of products - social networks Facebook and Instagram (decision of the Tverskoy District Court of the city of Moscow dated 03/21/2022 and the appeal ruling of the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Moscow City Court dated 06/20/2022) ”, - follows from the information on the website of the department.

Recall that in March of this year, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow recognized the activities of Instagram and Facebook as extremist and banned them in Russia. The reason for the appeal of the Prosecutor General's Office to the court was the lifting of the ban for residents of some countries to post information containing calls for violence against citizens of the Russian Federation.

On October 11, Rosfinmonitoring added Meta to the list of terrorists and extremists.

Senator Andrei Klishas clarified that the use of the company's products will still not be considered a violation of the law.
