Where can I find official information about the Meta/Mapillary restrictions in russia in 2025.  
I see that in 2025 the photos have continued to be uploaded there.

Mapillary does not block Russia, but Russian ISPs often block servers operated by Meta/Facebook. You can read more about this on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Meta_Platforms_in_Russia#:~:text=The%20blocking%20of%20Meta%20Platforms,as%20to%20call%20for%20violence).

The blocking of Facebook isn’t a feature that can be attributed specifically to Russia. Facebook blocks are also common in many government agencies and municipalities in central Europe. I don’t think those in charge are thinking about Mapillary and other Meta services. Meta could easily change this itself via shared IP addresses. That’s probably not what’s intended.
