TikTok to ban more Russian state-affiliated RT medias

The crackdown by TikTok follows increased international scrutiny and pressure on Russian state-affiliated media, which are accused of spreading propaganda and disinformation. The affected accounts were influential in disseminating Russian narratives to a global audience, covering multiple regions and languages.

By targeting platforms like RT International, Sputnik Serbia, Sputnik Afrique, and others, TikTok aims to align with global efforts to curb the spread of state-controlled misinformation, especially in light of the ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Russia. This move further restricts the reach of Russian media, limiting their ability to influence narratives across various countries and continents.
