On Wednesday, RT news reported that Facebook had blocked the option of posting anything but plain text on their page.<\/p>\n
The ban, according to Facebook, will last until Saturday 10:55pm Moscow time and will extend across US president-elect Trump\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n
The timing of\u00a0the ban means that RT won’t be able to\u00a0broadcast President-elect Trump’s inauguration live on\u00a0their Facebook page.<\/p>\n
RT\u2019s Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said she wasn\u2019t surprised that RT had been blocked from posting on Facebook following a complaint from Current Time TV (a part of Radio Liberty, financed by the US Department of State.)<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not surprised. If the Department of State could block oxygen to us, they would do it\u201d,<\/em> she told RIA Novosti.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile Facebook is a powerful distributor of live-streams it is struggling with the rights ramifications. RT will continue text-only posts to Facebook until the issue is resolved.”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere is no reason from our side as to why RT should have not been able to freely transmit our signal via their own FB page. In fact, I do not believe that AP would even be able to physically restrict client\u2019s [sic] transmissions on their own Facebook pages. In addition, the footage was our own and the restrictions did not mention anything out of the ordinary […] In short, it must have been an issue on [Facebook\u2019s] end,”<\/em> AP Editorial Liaison representative Phoebe Paulus said in an email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Wednesday, RT news reported that Facebook had blocked the option of posting anything but plain text on their page.
