Facebook and Instagram will no longer block Azov symbols

This was announced by Ukraine's Digital Transformation Minister Mykhaylo Fyodorov on Facebook and Telegram.

This became possible after the Ukrainian side negotiated with representatives of the company Meta (which includes Facebook and Instagram) in Davos. The US side assured that content about the Azov regiment would not be blocked on social networks.

Meta promised not to block content about the Azov regiment, agreed with the company's Global Policy President Nick Clegg and Vice President for Moderating Policy Monika Bickert during a meeting in Davos. The Minsphere team has been in constant communication with Meta about cooperation. They have blocked hundreds of accounts of Ukrainian military, bloggers and activists. But the hottest issue has still been blocking photos and videos about the Azov regiment. Thanks to Meta for a considered and important decision to change the moderating policy on Ukraine

Such actions will help millions of people to know the truth about the Azov military.

It is worth recalling that previously, just one mention of the name of the Azov regiment led to the post being deleted, both on Instagram and Facebook. The same was true for pictures of the regiment's logos.

Following reports that social networks would no longer ban posts with such content, the Azov regiment announced its return to Instagram.
