The Russian Council of Bloggers under the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation announced a reference to America a billion dollars.

It will be sent by META, recognized as an extremist organization in Russia. Its Facebook and Instagram services were forbidden and blocked in the country several weeks ago.

The Bloggers Council argues that when Ignoring the claim will appeal to the court, considering American and Russian options to file a complaint. Also from Meta require apologizes to citizens of Russia.

The claim, according to the authors, takes into account the result of a survey of 60 thousand people in Instagram. True, it is not entirely clear whether it was performed before blocking the application in the Russian Federation, and if after, then the situation looks strange. The result of the survey allegedly showed that income of 70% of users are associated with the social network, and half of the respondents called these payments to the main.

Founder of the Board of Bloggers Valery Rytvin comments:

Commercial activities of META have already been prohibited in Russia, attempts to cooperate with it in this area are fraught with legislative responsibility:

What is happening more like a PR share, but once again says that attempts to import Instagram while still failed:

If Meta has funds in Russia, they can be arrested forcibly, but the US court is unlikely to seriously consider such a claim.

Especially, legally does not look logical. Facebook, Instagram did not block the access of ordinary users to their services, except for individual state-owned media accounts, and access restriction occurred by Russia.

Calculation of the amount of compensation also looks controversial. With the collapse of the business of Western companies in Russia and the advertising budgets temporarily declined.

In addition, the receipt of money from the company, taking into account its current status in the Russian Federation, will look very strange.
