The war between Ukraine and Russia continues at full speed. Faced with heavy sanctions from the USA and Europe, the Kremlin is losing the support of the rest of the world, while the private sector and social media companies are also reacting to Russia.
After the last Facebook banned Russian government media institutions on the platform, another move came from Twitter. According to the information that emerged, the company prevented the opening of an account from Russia in order to prevent information pollution and provocation. Here are the details…
Twitter has blocked new accounts from Russia
While the eyes of the whole world are watching what’s going on in Ukraine on social media, information pollution is increasing day by day. Although the Kremlin, which carries out a special study on this issue, claims that they did not hit civilian places and that this was not an occupation, the conflicts in Kiev show the opposite.
Russia, which uses social media effectively, conveys the situation to the press in a more positive way than it actually is, thanks to the troll accounts it has and is increasing day by day. Finally, Twitter, which said stop, took a new decision.
Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov According to Twitter, by accepting Ukraine’s call for help, it prevented the opening of new accounts from the Russian Federation. Of course, this information pollution and troll accounts will not completely prevent.
Inviting other companies to exhibit a similar behavior, Mykhailo Fedorov said that he expects Facebook and Instagram to participate in this embargo.
So what do you think about this issue? Do you think other social media applications will prevent the opening of new accounts from Russia like Twitter? You can share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
