TikTok, Netflix Suspend Services in Russia Following Invasion of Ukraine

In the off chance you were enjoying TikToks from Russian users, well, you’re out of luck.

That’s because TikTok has suspended their services in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. Actually, so has Netflix. Both companies released statements to announce the move.

“TikTok is an outlet for creativity and entertainment that can provide a source of relief and human connection during a time of war when people are facing immense tragedy and isolation,” the company said in a statement. “However, our highest priority is the safety of our employees and our users, and in light of Russia’s new ‘fake news’ law, we have no choice but to suspend livestreaming and new content to our video service in Russia while we review the safety implications of this law.
