Strelna, January 29 The resumption of TikTok’s work in the Russian Federation is not yet being discussed, said the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev.
“No, not yet,” said he responded to the question whether the resumption of TikTok’s work in the Russian Federation is being discussed.
In the early spring of 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law introducing administrative liability for the spread of fakes about the actions of the Russian Armed Forces and calls for the imposition of sanctions against Russia. After this, the Chinese social network TikTok announced that it would stop distributing new content in the Russian Federation and live broadcasts (streams) because of this law. In March 2022, Megafon reported that the volume of mobile traffic of the TikTok social network in Russia from March 2022 to March 2023 fell by half.
TikTok is an application for creating and viewing short videos, owned by the Chinese ByteDance company. It was released in 2018. TikTok has its headquarters in Los Angeles and Singapore.
