1/ TikTok is an outlet for creativity and entertainment that can provide a source of relief and human connection during a time of war when people are facing immense tragedy and isolation. However, the safety of our employees and our users remain our highest priority.

2/ 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. Our in-app messaging service will not be affected.

@TikTokComms Add geolocation security and the ability to "lock" your account as facebook/twitter has if you have not already. In the end, it's the user's decision to stand up to fascism DO NOT get in the way of that. Just give the option to protect their identity

@TikTokComms Is this happening worldwide? Just no new content being created? How long do you think this will last?

@TikTokComms please. never.

@TikTokComms Это хорошо!

@TikTokComms that’s great. russian people won’t stand up against Putin until we take everything from them

@TikTokComms and why only the residents of Russia can't upload videos, because the rest will post propaganda and fakes, and the Russians won't even post a video of the rally? unfairly

@TikTokComms Russian descent into a totalitarian state. Became the evil they fought so hard to resist in WW2

@TikTokComms Спасибо я увидела свою смерть...

@TikTokComms Thank you so much 💔 I DEATH

@TikTokComms TikTok shows to be with the russian war. I will tell all the the people I know to uninstall TikTok!!! I also will not buy any good madein China.

@TikTokComms И в тот же час я прозрела и я ахуелаааа

@TikTokComms Так я не понял, никто из Российской Федерации не сможет загружать контент? Но как насчет людей, которые ведут свой аккаунт в tic tok? Должны ли они ждать несколько дней / недель / месяцев / лет?

@TikTokComms Какие вы крутые, ребята, просто молодцы, блять, СПАСИБО ВАМ ОГРОМНОЕ ЗА ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЙ ВАКУУМ.

@TikTokComms RUSSIA = 💩

@TikTokComms While i kinda understand the restriction of posting from Russia, I don't understand why you banned WATCHING anything that's not been made in Russia. HOW IS THIS MAKING ANY SENSE

@TikTokComms God Bless VPN 😃
