Latvia’s State Security Service (VDD) reports having commenced a check of Latvian citizens’ possible involvement in activities aimed at restricting supporters of Ukraine on Facebook.
The check was commenced based on information regarding possible unjustified blocking of profiles of supporters of Ukraine on Facebook.
VDD has been following activities to moderate content and uncover possible violations on Facebook social network since December 2022,
when Bulgarian residents started reporting dissatisfaction with possible manipulations with content moderation on Facebook. The institution reminds that on the 18th of January 2023 Bulgarian residents held protests against content moderation on Facebook, which, according to protesters, is aimed at assisting with promotion of pro-Kremlin opinions on this social network.
