According to Zharov, Facebook said that if they received an appeal about the distribution of political advertising, they would consider it and make a decision in due time.
The head of Roskomnadzor said that the Moscow City Commission’s Facebook account was blocked as a result of one user request.
“At the same time, that advertisement, which belongs to the political category and on which Roskomnadzor, the Public Chamber, and the Russian parliament spoke out, nothing happened to it. That’s why we say that we are clearly dealing with double standards, an attempt to influence the election results, ”he explained.
Earlier, Roskomnadzor sent data on violations of Google and Facebook on election day to the parliamentary commission to investigate foreign interference in Russia's internal affairs.
On September 6, ILV reported that they had sent requests to Facebook and Google to prevent the spread of political advertising on September 7 and 8.
