As of July 2022, the only countries to continually ban access to the social networking site are Eritrea, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, Turkmenistan and Uganda.

Use of the website has also been restricted in various ways in other countries. Many countries have banned or temporarily limited access to Facebook. Facebook can simultaneously propagate fake news, hate speech, and misinformation, thereby undermining the credibility of online platforms and social media.

Because the site indiscriminately displays material publicly posted by users, Facebook can, in effect, threaten oppressive governments. Facebook has limited moderation of the content posted to its site. Facebook is a social networking service that has been gradually replacing traditional media channels since 2010.
