Court in Moscow to consider lawsuit to recognize Meta as an extremist organization
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
The Russian impulse is understandable. Ironic, considering the Russian impulse toward totalitarianism, but understandable in this case nonetheless.
[REGNUM] The statement of claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia on the recognition of Meta Platforms as an extremist organization will be considered by the Tverskoy Court of Moscow. This was reported on March 20 by the press service of the court.

The court session, which will consider the claim of the First Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation against the American company Meta Platforms Inc., is scheduled for 11:00 Moscow time on March 21.

The Prosecutor General's Office has put forward a demand to ban the activities of the company that owns the social networks Instagram and Facebook and the WhatsApp messenger in Russia. The reason for going to court was the temporary permission of the company's management for residents of a number of countries to post content with calls for violence against Russian citizens, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Investigative Committee of Russia, in connection with the actions of Meta employees, opened a criminal case to violence and killings against Russian citizens. Due to the appearance of inappropriate content on the Meta social networks and the lack of any response from the company's management, Roskomnadzor restricted the work of Instagram and Facebook in Russia. It was decided not to limit the work of the WhatsApp messenger.

The exact consequences for social networks and the messenger will become known after the court session if the court decides. At the same time, if Meta Platforms is recognized as extremist, ordinary users of Facebook, Instagram and other platforms will not be punished if they do not post extremist content on the pages.

Earlier , REGNUM reported that the creator of the social network Rossgram admitted the possibility of changing its name.
