The app will no longer show ads in those countries. In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the company has stopped all ad sales in Russia and Belarus. It said that it will continue to offer the multimedia app in those countries, as it remains an important tool of communication, but that it will comply with all sanctions targeting Russian businesses and individuals. A growing list of tech companies have taken steps to limit ad availability in those regions by implementing ad bans. Both Facebook and Microsoft blocked state media outlets from using their advertising platforms, while Google-owned YouTube barred state-ownedRT. The company said in its post that it has never allowed state-owned outlets to publish on the Discover page, so it doesn't have to block them from the app. The company said it is vigilant in monitoring its platform for any evidence of misinformation or misuse.
