This was reported by Reuters.

Assman for the company, Andy Stone, explained that the hashtags were accompanied by violent photos and videos, so the system spoke perceived them as violations. Users can now use them to tell the world about human rights abuses and Russian crimes.

At the same time, social networks will have warning labels for some images.
