Facebook, media sites down in Russia amid crackdown

Facebook and multiple media websites are partially inaccessible in Russia, as authorities crack down on critical voices.

AFP journalists in Moscow were not able to access Facebook, as well as the sites of media outlets Meduza, Deutsche Welle, RFE-RL and the BBC’s Russian-language service. The monitoring NGO GlobalCheck also said the sites were partially down.
