MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The actions of the Facebook social network, which has removed hundreds of accounts and pages allegedly related to the personnel of the Sputnik international news agency and radio, are politically motivated, Sputnik’s press service said on Thursday.
“The decision is clearly political in its nature and, as a matter of fact, is practically censorship — seven [Facebook] pages belonging to our news hubs in neighbouring countries have been blocked. Sputnik editorial offices deal with news and they do it well. If this blocking is Facebook’s only reaction to the quality of the media’s work, then we have no questions, everything is clear here.
