(KERO) — Moscow has now added Facebook's parent company Meta to its list of "extremist organizations".

A Russian court ruled a few months ago that Meta had engaged in quote, "extremist activity." While the court decision included Facebook and Instagram, Whatsapp was spared.

The justice ministry's list now includes more than a hundred companies and organizations. Now millions in Russia no longer have access to multiple western social media platforms.
