Spotify has shut down its office in Russia and removed material from state-backed outlets RT and Sputnik, according to Variety. Other content from organizations affiliated with the Russian government is also being restricted in terms of discoverability. According to Reuters, RT and Sputnik’s content has been deleted in numerous regions but not in Russia.

Spotify shuts down its Russian office

Spotify, by closing down its office in Russia, is no longer in compliance with a Russian regulation from July 2021 that requires foreign social media firms with more than 500,000 monthly users to have a local branch in the country. This means Spotify might be banned in Russia, Reuters reports.

For the time being, Spotify claims it will continue to operate in Russia, according to Variety: “We think it’s critically important to try to keep our service operational in Russia to allow for the global flow of information.”
