In the context of restrictions on social networks and messaging applications, Facebook has been the most affected platform, with a total of ** blockages between 2015 and 2024. Worldwide, the main cause of such restrictions is political turmoil. An example of this is Russia, where access to X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook has been blocked since the beginning of the conflict with Ukraine in early 2022.
