Instagram has blocked posts in Russia relating to corruption claims made by the country's most prominent opposition leader.
It follows a demand by the country's internet censor that the Facebook-owned service restrict access to posts on its platform connected to allegations made by Alexei Navalny.
The controversy followed a YouTube video posted by Mr Navalny's Anti-corruption Foundation last week that allegedly shows the billionaire Oleg Deripaska meeting with Russia's deputy prime minister Sergei Prikhodko aboard a yacht.
Some ISPs have already taken such action against Mr Navalny's own website to comply with an order by Russia's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor.
