The new policy forbids any user to post death threats against President Vladamir Putin or any other head of state. Facebook also clarified that its temporary easing on hate speech is specific only to the citizens of Ukraine that are referring to Russian soldiers. The changes come as the Russian government has banned Instagram and its 80 million users from operating inside the country.
