Nikita Danyuk, Deputy Director of the RUDN Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts, member of the Civic Chamber, commented on Facebook blocking the official page of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control.
“Such actions once again show that Facebook is 100 percent politically biased. The company is just a continuation of the American political system and those semantic patterns that exist within the American information space. This is not a platform where each side has the right to speak. Facebook is a continuation of American foreign policy, which is aimed at completely ignoring other opinions and intolerance not only for criticism, but also for the existence of a different position, ”said Danyuk.
He noted that this is not the first case of this kind of action by Facebook.
“We have already encountered similar situations, but in this case we are not talking about depriving a particular user of the right to speak, which is unacceptable. Here we are talking about the act of depriving the voice and position of the country, which is responsible for global security. Of course, this kind of action must be qualified as the use of a digital asset in a hybrid war that is being waged against our country,” said the member of the OP.
According to Danyuk, Facebook has become a tool for implementing US foreign policy.
“When the Russian delegation posted the information, it did not violate any of Facebook's internal rules. Our delegation acted with the best of intentions to inform the public. Facebook has become not just a place where there is censorship and undisguised dominance of some political views over others. Facebook has become a tool for the implementation of US foreign policy, which is a violation of all key principles of freedom of information, unimpeded access to information and an act of censorship, which is prohibited in our country by the Constitution, ”he concluded.
Recall that earlier the American company Meta Platforms (owns the social network Facebook) blocked the official page of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control.
