Many of the major tech giants across the world have begun distancing from Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine. Companies such as Apple and Google have started distancing from Russia by cutting ties and restricting their services with the country in support of Ukraine. Due to ongoing Russia’s military actions, the Ukrainian govt itself requested approx 50 tech companies to impose sanctions on Russia. Apart from Apple, Google and Meta, other companies like AMD, Dell, TSMC, and Intel are also limiting or discontinuing sales in the country. In fact, many other firms have imposed trade restrictions while some choose to voluntarily withdraw from Russia. Below is a list of tech firms that have so far barred Russia from accessing their product and services.

Google

In support of Ukraine Google has barred Russian government-funded news organisations from using advertising tools and some YouTube features. Also, the search giant has removed RT from its news-related features and Google News search tool and removed apps associated with RT and Sputnik from its Play store. Russian state media has also been restricted from using its tools to buy ads or place advertisements on Google services.

Meta

On the other hand, Meta has also come in support of Ukraine and has restricted Russian state media from running advertisements and monetising on its social media network that includes Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Access to RT and Sputnik throughout the European Union has been barred. While Instagram launched encrypted direct messages to assist users in Russia and Ukraine in conducting private conversations. Also, Facebook responded by stating that it would not stop fact-checking and labelling content from state-run news organisations.

Microsoft

Joining the bandwagon Microsoft announced that it would not display any state-sponsored RT or Sputnik content on its platform while also removing RT news apps from the Windows app store and began de-ranking these sites in Bing search results. The company will also ban all advertisements from RT and Sputnik across. In addition to this, the tech giant will now put any advertisements on any of its sites.

According to TechCrunch, Nothing founder Carl Pei presented a prototype of the upcoming Nothing smartphone to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
