Managing partner of B&C Agency Ivan Samoilenko told about why social networks Twitter and Facebook were blocked in Russia, and under what conditions they can be unblocked
“Twitter and Facebook have been blocked due to violations of Russian legislation on the prohibition of banned content. Anti-Russian posts, fakes and unverified information spread most actively on these social networks. In addition, blocking the operation of these resources in Russia was a mirror response to sanctions from the West, where Russian media have been banned from broadcasting”, – the expert said.
He also expressed hope that the anti-Russian rhetoric in Europe, as well as in the United States, would diminish over time. Allowing Russian media to broadcast in the West will be a factor after which the blocking of foreign resources in Russia may be lifted as well
