Recently, technology companies have imposed numerous sanctions against Russia. Some of these sanctions were related to product sales, some related to automobiles and some related to social media. Previously, some social media companies had introduced some restrictions for Russia. One of the biggest blows to Russian people’s use of social media came from TikTok.
TikTok stops video sharing for Russia
One of the most used social media services in Russia is TikTok. Although services such as VK are also very popular in the country, TikTok has a volume that cannot be underestimated. So much so that from time to time we even see Turkish songs become famous in Russia. Russian users will not be able to shoot videos on TikTok for an indefinite period. The platform now blocks users in Russia from sharing videos. The main reason for this restriction is said to be to prevent the spread of fake news.
TikTok’s official Twitter account announced as follows:
In light of Russia’s new “fake news” law, we saw no choice but to suspend livestreams and new content while reviewing the security implications of this law. . Our in-app messaging service will not be affected.
TikTok, Russia stops sharing
Although social media companies have implemented restrictions against Russia, the size of each obstacle has not been the same. While Twitter was content to add a warning to the shares of Russian media, TikTok stopped the new video stream in the country. We will see together what other sanctions will be in the coming days.
