Meta's Andy Stone won't be locked up unless he decides to visit Russia.
A military court in Russia sentenced a spokesperson for Meta to six years in prison on Monday, according to a new report from the English-language Moscow Times. Andy Stone was convicted in absentia for the “justification” of terrorism after the Facebook parent company changed its rules about what’s considered violent speech shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Russian military court first opened a criminal inquiry into Meta on March 11, 2022, according to U.S.
Stone would later clarify that while the company was allowing more violent speech on its platforms to account for frustration in Ukraine at a violent invasion, any calls for violence against Russian civilians were still strictly banned. Calls for violence against Russian soldiers were only permitted by people living in a dozen countries and didn’t include anyone living in the U.S.
