Facebook massively blocking accounts of Ukrainian critics of Russian aggression

Deputy Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Dmytro Zolotukhin turned to the Facebook's European office to address the problem.

Facebook has recently started massively blocking accounts of Ukrainian opinion leaders, top bloggers, journalists, and volunteers – all of them telling the truth about Russian aggression in Ukraine.

The bans come as a result of complaints by pro-Russian bots, the "Come Back Alive" Charity Foundation reports.

"Massive attack on the Ukrainian segment of Facebook! For several days, an attack has been ongoing, launched from Russia against the accounts of our volunteers, activists, journalists, bloggers, and opinion leaders. Pro-Russian bots and those siding with the occupation forces have been actively complaining against the accounts of Ukrainians in the social network, which leads to bans," the report said.

The organization suggests that the attack on Ukrainian netizens is related to the upcoming presidential elections in Russia.
