NO MORE TINDER FOR RUSSIANS

POLITICS / SOCIAL MEDIA / SOCIETY / OUTSIDE NEWS

The Match Group withdraws from Russia. Tinder, OKcupid, Hinge… will all vanish from Russian social space by June 30.

Meanwhile, The Russian Government™ is planning — finally, again, for real this time — to launch RuTube… and close access to YouTube. After already having closed down access to LinkedIn, then Facebook and Instagram.

Anyone “normal” still left inside Russia, who had any intentions to look for any sort of social, professional, cultural or bodily fluids exchange internationally… That’s pretty much the end.

(No, VPN and Tor users aren’t “normal”.)
