Russian prosecutors said the move by Facebook could violate articles of the Russian criminal law against public calls for extremist activities. It said: > Such actions of the (Meta) company’s management not only form an idea that terrorist activity is permissible, but are aimed at inciting hatred and enmity towards the citizens of the Russian Federation. The State prosecutor’s office has called for access to Instagram to be blocked and to recognise Meta as an “extremist organisation and ban its activities on the territory of Russia”. Several Russian regional governors reportedly deleted their Instagram accounts on Friday. *More: Reuters* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
