The Chinese video service Tiktok is restricting its service in Russia after the law was changed last Friday, which means prison sentences for statements that deviate from the Kremlin's portrayal of the war in Ukraine.
The American streaming service Netflix is suspending its service in Russia.
Netflix had previously refused to distribute twenty channels affiliated with the Russian government.
According to the announcement, Tiktok users in Russia will no longer be able to stream live or upload new content to the video service.
In view of the new legal situation, there is no other choice, Tiktok wrote on Twitter.
The service provides space for creativity and entertainment and can be a source of relief and human connection at a time of war, when people are suffering severe tragedy and isolation.
But the safety of its own employees and users has top priority, the company said.
Therefore, in view of the new Russian “fake news” law, there is no other choice but to restrict the functions, news can still be shared in the app.
The circumstances in Russia will be monitored and a decision will be made as to when the service in Russia will be fully available again.
According to Russia's new anti-media law, spreading alleged misinformation about Russian armed forces can be punished with heavy fines and up to 15 years in prison.
Vladimir Putin and the Russian government refer to the war of aggression in Ukraine exclusively as a "special operation".
The Russian authorities have already blocked Facebook and Twitter.
