Facebook was "grounded". Roskomnadzor obliged Meta to create a branch in Russia

Roskomnadzor has informed of a change in the status of Facebook (Meta)'s compliance with Russian legislation.

Meta Platforms, Inc. sent an application for registration of a personal account on the official website of Roskomnadzor and has already registered it as of now.

As a reminder, according to the federal law № 236 "On the activities of foreign entities in the Internet on the territory of Russia" foreign IT-companies are required to ensure their official presence on the territory of the Russian Federation by creating a branch, opening a representative office or by establishing a Russian legal entity as well as to place an electronic feedback form on their website to Russian users, to register a personal account on the Roskomnadzor website to interact with the authorities and to install the recommended personal account on the information resource.

Unfortunately, this does not mean any positive changes for Russian users of Meta services.
