Bloomberg, citing sources , reports that Google has begun to remove from the country employees of its Moscow office, the only one in Russia, where 244 people worked.
Google expects YouTube to be blocked in Russia amid the invasion of Ukraine.
Last week, YouTube temporarily banned the Russian Ministry of Defense channel from publishing videos because it called the war with Ukraine a “liberation mission.”
The corporation believes that this step will likely lead to the blocking of YouTube in Russia, Bloomberg writes , citing an internal document.
