Russia puts Meta’s spokesman on a wanted list Andy Stone-t – reported the Russian state news agency TASSSZ. According to the report, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has opened a criminal case against Stone, but has not released details of the investigation or the charges.

The Guardian recalls that in March 2022, Russia’s Investigative Committee opened criminal proceedings for “illegal actions” by Meta employees, and Stone was also cited, saying that he “unbanned calls for violence against the Russian military on his platforms” and incited extremist activity. .

Meta’s Facebook and Instagram were banned in Russia shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
