TikTok follows Facebook in blocking RT and Sputnik in the EU

TikTok is blocking access to two Russian state media outlets. Sputnik andRT are no longer able to post to audiences within the EU, and their pages and content will no longer be accessible to users in the bloc.

The move by TikTok comes as other social media platforms crack down on outlets with large followings. The EU banned the Russian state-run media Sputnik andRT, and on Monday Facebook said it was blocking access to the publications.
