TikTok suspends live streaming and new content posts in Russia

TikTok is suspending live streaming and new content to its video service in Russia after the Kremlin introduced a new law that could jail anyone intentionally spreading “fake” news.

“In light of Russia’s new ‘fake news’ law, we have no choice but to suspend livestreaming and new content to our video service while we review the safety implications of this law,” TikTok said in a post on Twitter. “Our in-app messaging service will not be affected,” it asded.
