U.S. officials accused RT last week of carrying out covert information warfare operations around the world as an arm of Russia's spy agencies.

Social media giant Meta announced Monday that it is banning Russian media outlet RT, days after the Biden administration accused RT of acting as an arm of Moscow’s spy agencies.

“After careful consideration, we expanded our ongoing enforcement against Russian state media outlets. Rossiya Segodnya, RT and other related entities are now banned from our apps globally for foreign interference activity," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.

The Biden administration on Friday announced new sanctions and a State Department official called the media outlet “a fully fledged member of the intelligence apparatus and operation of the Russian government” for the war in Ukraine.
