Facebook allowing targeted calls for violence to one side of a conflict only had a lot to do with this decision.

GTFO, there is tons of Russian propaganda on FB, including fake shit but some Russian trolls get upset when social media and moderators remove provable false things.

Are you arguing that there's moral similarity between an invading army and people who'd prefer not to be invaded, because "well, it's violence"?

Something tickles me about how the country with reputation for disinformation was so quick to ban Facebook and Instagram. What do they know?

Nothing, obviously. Their disinformation campaigns of the past 15 years have failed and the priorities have shifted towards terrorizing and misinforming their own citizens.

It means they know exactly how the game is played and have been playing it for a long, long time.
