Russia - Big tech's social media giants are now restricting advertising from Russia.  Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are acting to curtail Russian advertising on their respective platforms following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 

Facebook cut off ads from official Russian state sources anywhere in the world.  YouTube isn't allowing Russian official media sources such as RT to advertise anywhere in Ukraine and has demonetized such sources.  Twitter is doing away with all advertising going into Ukraine and Russia.  In a statement yesterday, Google officials said the search giant is demonetizing Russian state funded media.
