The Russian government moved to "partially restrict" Facebook access in the country on Friday after Russia's ministry of communications accused the social network of unlawful censorship.
In a statement, ministry officials said Facebook (FB) had committed human rights violations and "violated the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens" when the social network on Thursday allegedly clamped down on several Russian media outlets on its platform.
The list allegedly includes the official Facebook accounts of RIA Novosti, Zvezda TV, Lenta.ru and Gazeta.ru, according to the statement.
