“Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a company spokesperson told CNN.

Normally, I'm against the U.S. invading another country, but if it'll make TikTok block us, we should invade whoever we need to, as soon as posisble.

I'm calling BS on this. TikTok is owned by Cheyna. Cheyna and Russia seem to be buddy-buddy lately.

So either TikTok hasn't really blocked use in Russia, or TikTok has few users in Russia anyway (allowing CheynaTok to virtue signal to stupid American libs with little consequence in Russia).

Are they trying to prevent information from going into Russia, or out?
I would have thought open conversation would be good, but those in charge seem not to want that. Wonder why.
Frankly, this is playing right into Putin's hands.

I seem to recall a probe that failed its Mars mission because of confusion between metric and English systems.

People, especially politicians and the woke mob, love to make sacrifices that cost them nothing personally.

Netflix will grandstand over a popular war but will not listen to millions of customers who refuse to subsidize their spending on movies like Cuties.
