“The Ministry of Communications strongly condemns the arbitrariness on the part of Facebook, which, in violation of the Venezuelan constitution, has blocked the official blog of President Nicolas Maduro for 30 days, violating the rights of 1.2 million of its users,” the statement on Twitter said.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called for the regulation of Western social networks that remove content.

In January, Twitter permanently closed access to the account of former US President Donald Trump due to "the risk of further incitement to violence."
