TikTok informed on company's official Twitter account that the app's functioning would be temporarily suspended in Russia.
Also, the message says that it will not be possible to download new content and broadcast content online. At the same time, users will be able to continue communicating using private messages of the application.
1/ 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. However, the safety of our employees and our users remain our highest priority.

TikTok's suspension in Russia is connected to Russia's new "fake law."
We should recall that the Russian media is forbidden to call the attack on Ukraine a war.
