According to Downdetector, a service for tracking problems in the work of Internet platforms, users from Russia began to complain en masse about the failures of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Problems in social networks began on February 25. Over 80% of users sent complaints about the functioning of the application, another 10% noticed that they could not log in to their profile, and 7% reported problems with the operation of social network sites. 
Recall that on February 25, Roskomnadzor (the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media) partially restricted access to Facebook. On the same day, the Prosecutor General’s Office recognized the social network involved in the violation of human rights and freedoms and citizens of Russia. 
On February 26, representatives of Russian media were banned from showing ads and monetization in the social network Facebook. The company took such a step because of the situation around Ukraine. At the same time, Twitter suspended advertising for Russians and Ukrainians, as well as temporarily stopped recommending tweets to avoid the spread of insulting materials. 
In addition, Roskomnadzor restored measures in the form of slowing the speed of Twitter Internet service on devices in Russia in connection with the dissemination of untrustworthy public information about the military operation in Ukraine.
