Russia has added the US tech giant Meta Platforms to its list of “terrorists and extremists" organisations, the news agency ANI reported. 

On March 21,  the social networking platform was designated as extremist after Russian government alleged that it selectively lifted its rules to allow Ukrainians to call for violence and use hate speech against Russian "invaders," including calls for death of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. 

A Moscow court in June rejected an appeal by Meta after it was found guilty of "extremist activity" in Russia in March. In court, Meta's lawyer at the time said Meta was not carrying out extremist activity and was against Russophobia, reuters reported.
