Netflix has suspended its streaming service in Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine toward the end of last month.
Netflix has become the latest tech firm to suspend operations in Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The action means that anyone in Russia wanting to sign up to Netflix will be unable to do so starting Monday, March 7. The 1 million or so existing subscribers there will be able to continue using their account until the end of their current billing cycle, according to Politico. The streaming giant has also declined to broadcast 20 Russian free-to-air propaganda channels that Russian law requires Netflix to host. It’s not clear if it will face any repercussions for its refusal to air the content.
