Russia has limited access to Facebook after the social media provider refused to stop fact-checking and labelling content from state-owned organisations, former deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg has said. Russian authorities announced the partial restriction after the social media network limited the accounts of several Kremlin-backed outlets over the invasion of Ukraine. Ordinary Russians are using our apps to express themselves and organise for action, and the company wants them to continue to make their voices heard -Sir Nick, vice president of global affairs at Facebooks parent company Meta. Yesterday, Russian authorities ordered us to stop the independent fact-checking and labelling of content on Facebook by four Russian state-owned media organisations. We refused. As a result, Russians have announced they will be restricting the use of our services, He tweeted.
