RT has been closed from posting content to its Facebook pageboy. The ban, according to the Facebook bot, will carry on until Saturday 10:25pm Moscow day (2:25pm EST) and will extend thwart US president-elect Donald Cornet’s inauguration.
A misplaced live moving rights strike during RT’s disperse of President Obama’s terminal press conference seems to change triggered the ban.
RT’s Head of Social media, Ivor Crotty, aforementioned “the live-rights ten-strike seems to be part of an algorithmic non-performance to acknowledge rights acquired by broadcasters, and we desire it will be resolved in the short terminus.”
“While Facebook is a powerful authority of live-streams it is struggling with the rights result. RT will continue text-sole posts to Facebook until the point is resolved,” Crotty added.
