As reported by Ukrinform, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov announced this on Telegram.

“We wrote a letter today to Nick Clegg (Meta’s head of global policy – ed.) asking him to improve the quality of moderation. So that Ukrainian posts are no longer hidden and accounts are not banned,” he wrote. .

Fedorov noted that the Meta company has helped Ukraine a lot. In particular, he blocked Russian propaganda sources, made a Ukrainian version of Facebook for iOS and, together with Diya.Biznes, established a training center for Ukrainian small and medium businesses.

“I thank Meta and hope that we can change the company’s approach and solve the problem of mass-blocking of Ukrainian users,” the deputy prime minister said. said.

According to Fedorov, he receives many messages from bloggers, media community, activists and ordinary users about blocking posts and accounts on Facebook and Instagram. The Deputy Prime Minister added that the Ministry of Statistics is in constant communication with Meta Corporation, which has even allocated a separate team to us to respond quickly to requests.

From the first day of the war, millions of Ukrainians united and acted in a single information front. They spread news on social networks, the army “They raise money for paramedics and people who have lost everything. Every activist, blogger, volunteer is using their trust and reputation for a good cause.” said Fedorov.
