Russian court deems Instagram and Facebook as ‘extremist’, WhatsApp spared
Meta app’s Instagram and Facebook, but not Whatsapp, were found guilty of extremist activity on Monday in Moscow’s Tver Court following Meta’s decision to allow expressions condoning or encouraging violence towards Russia from within the Ukraine.
The ban on the social networks has already been in place since last week, when the investigation into whether or not the platforms were “extremist” began.
“The decision does not apply to the activities of Meta’s messenger WhatsApp, due to its lack of functionality for the public dissemination of information,” Moscow’s Tverskoy district court said in a Telegram post.

The social media giant’s parent company Meta is paying Targeted Victory, one of the biggest GOP consulting firms in the country, to promote dubious stories about alleged TikTok trends that actually originated on Facebook as part of a campaign to turn public sentiment against the Chinese-owned app that’s popular with children and younger adults, reported the Washington Post .
“Targeted Victory worked to amplify negative TikTok coverage through a Google document titled ‘Bad TikTok Clips,’ which was shared internally and included links to dubious local news stories citing TikTok as the origin of dangerous teen trends,” the Post reported. “Local operatives working with the firm were encouraged to promote these alleged TikTok trends in their own markets to put pressure on lawmakers to act.”
One of those highlighted trends was the “devious licks” challenge that showed students vandalizing school property, which Targeted Victory pushed to local media outlets in multiple states and eventually prompted Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) to call on TikTok executives to testify before a Senate subcommittee.
However, according to an investigation by Anna Foley at the podcast network Gimlet, rumors about “devious licks” first spread of Facebook.
Targeted Victory tried to spread rumors in October of a “Slap a Teacher TikTok challenge” in local news, but those rumors also originated on Facebook and did not actually exist on TikTok.
