UNDATED (AP) — The parent company of Facebook and Instagram is restricting access to Russia’s RT and Sputnik in Europe over concerns the two state-controlled media outlets are being used to spread disinformation and propaganda. Today’s action by Meta came after its weekend announcement that it was banning ads from Russian state media and had removed a network of 40 fake accounts, pages and groups publishing pro-Russian talking points. The network used fictitious persons posing as journalists and experts, but had yet to create much of an audience.
