Calls for violence against Russian civilians will be blocked.
Meta, which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, has allowed users from some countries to publish posts calling for violence against the Russian occupiers involved in the war against Ukraine. In addition, it will be possible to publish content calling for the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who started the war, and the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, who supports him, according to Reuters.
“In response to Russia's attack on Ukraine, we have temporarily lifted the ban on content that normally violates our rules, such as calling for the death of the Russian occupiers.” But we will continue to block calls for violence against civilians from Russia, “the Meta spokesman said in a statement.

Calls for the deaths of Putin and Lukashenko will be allowed if they do not pursue other goals and do not describe the place and methods by which this can be done.
Calls for violence against the Russian occupiers are allowed for users from Ukraine, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia.
The letter, which was sent to Meta moderators, said that statements that would otherwise be deleted were allowed. In the case when they are aimed at the occupiers, with the exception of prisoners, or Russians, when it is clear from the context that we are talking about those who invaded Ukraine.
“We are doing this because we have noticed that in this particular context, 'Russian soldiers' are being used as proxies for the Russian armed forces. The policy of inciting hatred continues to prohibit attacks on Russians, “the letter said.
Last week, Russia said it would block access to Facebook on its territory.
Ukraine has been opposing the Russian invaders for 16 days. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported operational information about the Russian invasion as of 6 am on March 11.
