Big Tech platforms have aggressively restricted Russian government accounts, state media, and those trying to spread Russian disinformation in response to President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Under pressure from their users and government officials, Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Twitter have all announced efforts to block Russian state media from running ads and monetizing content on their platforms and are also trying to reduce the spread of Russian disinformation about what is happening in Ukraine. Some of the platforms have even restricted access to Russian government accounts altogether.
