Russia has blocked access to Facebook for its 146 million citizens amid the Ukraine invasion, a state regulator has said. It comes a week after Russia limited access to Facebook after it refused to stop fact-checking and labelling content from state-owned organisations. Responding to the decision, former deputy Prime Minster Sir Nick said: “Soon millions of ordinary Russians will find themselves cut off from reliable information, deprived of their everyday ways of connecting with family and friends and silenced from speaking out. Will this help to stop propaganda ?
