Meta disables Russell Brand's social accounts following prison sentence

Russell Brand's accounts on Meta-owned platforms like Facebook and Instagram have been shut down. This action follows his sentencing earlier in the week to 10-and-a-half years in jail for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women. Meta's community standards policy mandates restricting or removing accounts owned by convicted sex offenders to maintain a safe environment. Meanwhile, Brand's X account remains active, where a recent post acknowledged the removal from Meta's platforms.
