Simonyan: Blocked RT-Linked Facebook Accounts Sign of Geopolitical Confrontation

Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik and RT, said that Facebook’s suspension of accounts operated by Maffick Media over ties to RT was a sign of “open geopolitical confrontation,” where media platforms are being used as “tools.”

“Obviously, things will be getting only worse. Nobody even tries to believe in any freedom or talk about any freedom. This has already become an open geopolitical confrontation, where media platforms… serve as tools,” Simonyan said.

 
According to the RT editor-in-chief, CNN acted as “the right hand… of the State Department, NATO and everything linked to that.”
