Additional information:

On July 19, Cornelia Cozonac, President of the Center for Journalistic Investigations, announced in a social media post that Meta had removed two posts from the Anticorruption portal's Facebook page. The posts were about the contravention file of the leader of the Chance party and about the trial of the Russian singer Philipp Kirkorov. Meta's action was reportedly due to the inclusion of the word "Victory" in the headlines, as well as the use of the Russian word "Pobeda."
