Instagram users in Russia have been notified that the service will no longer work for them as of midnight on Sunday
An email which went out from the Russian state communications regulator told Instagram users to move their photos and videos from Instagram before it was shut down, and encouraged them to switch to the nation’s own competitor platforms.
This comes after Meta said they would temporarily “allow hate speech” in Ukraine, following Russia’s invasion of the country on the 24 February. In a statement the company explained, it would be wrong to prevent Ukrainians from “expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces”. Russia had already previously banned Facebook in the country.
The head of Instagram has said the block will affect 80 million users, and the ban on Instagram is now in effect.
