The owner of platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp not only blocked profiles belonging to Russian state media on its websites; it also expanded the activities related to fact-checking, and created new, additional privacy options for Ukrainian citizens using the application. Meta also introduced markings for Russian media profiles and limited them in the area of advertising.
