Netflix Joins Russian Boycott, Suspends Local Service
“Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a Netflix spokesperson said.
TikTok announced Sunday it had “no choice” but to suspend live-streaming and new videos in Russia after President Vladimir Putin signed a new censorship law banning “fake” news on the invasion of Ukraine —which includes calling the invasion “an invasion” or the conflict in Ukraine “a war.” Netflix had already said it would not add state-run channels to its Russian service, in defiance of a national law requiring broadcasters with more than 100,000 subscribers to carry state-backed channels.
