The Russians are completely blocked from social media, after the war declared by the Kremlin on these platforms. Russian Internet regulator Roskomnadzor has ordered the blocking of Facebook and Twitter in Russia, accusing social media of "discriminating" against Russian media.
After the "blockade" on Facebook, the same was decided for Twitter, YouTube and Booking. According to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, the Booking accommodation site can no longer be used to book a room in Russia.
In recent days, however, Twitter has imposed restrictive measures on Russian users due to propaganda.
