Growing list of companies taking a stance against Russia

Published

on

Another major company has taken a stance against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Onlyfans has temporarily suspended the accounts of Russian content creators.

The move has left many creators like sex workers out of income.

Until now, Russian creators have been allowed to remain on the platform.

In February, Rolling Stone reported that Russian OnlyFans creators briefly lost access to their accounts with little warning but the access was then granted once again.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian content creators have quickly begun losing access to popular online services.

Major corporate organisations have also continued to block, suspend or cease operations in Russia

US and China approve TikTok’s sale to Oracle and Silver Lake amid regulatory scrutiny, with ByteDance retaining 20%.


The United States and China have officially approved a deal for TikTok’s US operations to be sold to American investors, led by Oracle and Silver Lake.

This marks a major shift in the social media landscape as the platform navigates increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Under the new agreement, ByteDance will retain just under 20% of TikTok US, while Oracle and Silver Lake will each take 15% stakes. Other investors will also participate, forming a structure designed to satisfy both commercial and regulatory demands.

The new US-based entity will have a majority American board tasked with overseeing data protection and content moderation. Despite these safeguards, concerns remain about ByteDance’s influence and whether the deal fully complies with recent legislation.
