The Facebook changes a regulation that prohibits the users posts of violence in response to invasion of Russias in Ukraine.
Η change, which was first reported by Reuters, allows users from the Ukraine and some others countries "to seek violence against Russian soldiers in the context of the invasion of Ukraine". 
Users of the platform in Ukraine, Poland and Russia are also allowed to "seek the death of Russian President Vladimir Putin or President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko."
Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said the company was "temporarily" allowing certain posts that would have been removed in the past in line with company regulations prohibiting incitement to violence.

He added, however, that the company would not allow "calls for violence against Russian citizens."
"Because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have temporarily given way to forms of political expression that would normally violate our regulations, to violent postings, such as 'death to the Russian invaders,'" Stone said.
"However, we will not allowcalls for violence against Russian civilians".
This change shows us how much they can influence platforms of social networks shaping public opinion, simply by adjusting their content policies. Facebook has already taken several steps to limit the influence of Russian state media informationand pro-Russian propaganda.
The Russian government responded by banning Facebook.
