Facebook, Twitter respond to Russia blocking services
Representatives from Facebook and Twitter provided updates about their services after the Russian government announced it would block both services.
Twitter security chief Yoel Roth said the company has not confirmed its services are completely disabled in Russia during a public panel Friday evening.
Meta, Facebook's parent company, put out a statement contending, "despite the Russian government’s announcement that they will be blocking Facebook, we are working to keep our services available to the greatest extent possible."
Meta added that "ads targeting people in Russia will be paused, and advertisers within Russia will no longer be able to create or run ads anywhere in the world, including within Russia."
