No replacement for TikTok
Internet activist Stanislaw Schakirow does not believe that TikTok could really be blocked and replaced in Russia in the near future: The Chinese are known to cooperate with the Russian government, the technical director of the Russian non-governmental organization Roskomswoboda told the German press agency on Tuesday. “So I don’t think Yappy was created with the aim of replacing TikTok.” Given the stiff competition in the market, he doesn’t think Yappy will be too successful in Russia either.
