Russia:
- The majority of Russian government requests relate to content that violates our Terms of Service under spam and violent threats. We have received takedown demands that are critical of Russia’s stance on the LGBTQ+ community and other minority groups within Russia; we evaluate each request individually and strive to uphold content that is not in violation of our Terms of Service.
