“My partner Kirill Filimonov and our group of developers were already ready for this turn of events and decided not to miss the opportunity to create a Russian analogue of a popular social network beloved by our compatriots,”

Meta Action

After its US owner Meta Platforms declared last week that it would allow social media users in Ukraine to post slogans like “Death to the Russian Invaders”, Russian state communications regulator Roskomnadzor restricted access to Instagram on Monday.

Meta, which also owns Facebook, stated that the temporary change in its hate speech policy only applied to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion and that it would be wrong to prevent Ukrainians from “expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces.”

Russia, which already banned Facebook, has charged Meta with “extremism” and asked a court to declare it a “extremist organization.”
The case is set for Monday.

About Rossgram

Rossgram, a Russia photo sharing application set to replace Instagram.
According to a photo posted by Zobov on Vkontakte, Rossgram’s color scheme and layout will be very similar to that of Instagram.

Although, Rossgram’s design did not elicit an immediate response from Meta, who declined to comment on it.

In recent months, Russia has been investing in the development of domestic technology, which includes the AYYA T1 smartphones produced by state-owned enterprise Rostec.

Also, in last year November, a video-sharing app named Yappy was developed by Gazprom Media as a domestic competitor to TikTok.
