Moscow (Russia) – Russia has made a radical decision by imposing a ban on WhatsApp, the messaging giant under Meta. This ban directly affects more than 100 million users in the country and has ignited a new wave of localization in digital communication.
🚨 Russia has officially banned Meta’s WhatsApp, citing failure to comply with local laws.
Access to Meta’s other platforms – Facebook and Instagram – remains blocked after being designated as “extremist” organisations.
