Russia puts Meta spokesman on wanted list

Russian authorities have added Andy Stone, the spokesperson of US tech giant Meta, to a wanted list. Stone's inclusion on the list comes after Russian authorities classified Meta as a 'terrorist and extremist' organization. The interior ministry's database does not provide details of the charges against Stone. In February 2022, Stone was put on the wanted list, but the matter was not reported until this week. Meta's actions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to a criminal probe by Russia's federal Investigative Committee.
