Restrictions in Russia
The regulator restricted access to the service on March 14, 2022, after Meta temporarily allowed certain calls for violence against the Russian military on its social networks; a week later, a court recognized Meta as an extremist organization, cementing the restriction. As of late September 2026, the restriction remains unchanged, and the website and app do not open for most users without additional tools.
