TikTok shuts down livestreams in Russia and (finally) rolls out ‘state-run media’ labels

TikTok has officially entered the Russian information war. The social network announced several new measures Friday intended to prevent misinformation and propaganda from spreading among TikTok users. Days later, on Sunday, the company went a step further when it moved to suspend its livestreaming services and “new content” in Russia as well, placing the blame on the country’s new “fake news law.”
