On March 14th, Russia will prohibit Instagram

Russia’s communications agency, Roskomnadzor, has declared that it will also block Instagram, just a week after banning Facebook. While the government previously blamed the ban on Facebook on “discrimination against Russian media,” this time it claims it’s due to a decision by parent company Meta instructing moderators to allow posts calling for violence against Russian soldiers if they come from specific countries, including Ukraine.
