TikTok users in Russia can see only old Russian-made content

All non-Russian content blocked, in addition to ban on livestreaming and adding new content from Russia

TikTok has blocked all non-Russian content in Russia but is allowing historical content uploaded by domestic accounts to stay online, including videos by state-backed media services.

The Chinese-owned video sharing app said on Sunday it had banned livestreaming and uploading of new content in Russia after the Kremlin criminalised the spreading of what it deems to be fake news about its invasion of Ukraine.
