Would it have done it if Twitter hadn't publicly disclosed its similar measures a couple hours earlier?We have received requests from a number of Governments and the EU to take further steps in relation to Russian state controlled media. Given the exceptional nature of the current situation, we will be restricting access to RT and Sputnik across the EU at this time.

- Scoop! A personal one, actually: After 10.5 yrs, I’m departing @Forbes to join @TheInformation & @jonsteinberg31’s new Weekend magazine Broadly, I’ll be covering wealth, power & technology: how those forces shape our world and culture—and, of course, the people behind them 1/5
- Live from the temple of technology, the fortress of finance, the capital of capital… Need I go on? Probably not. Here’s Weekend’s Big Read (by me!) on @tbpn, Silicon Valley’s new must-listen talk show from @johncoogan and @jordihays. 👇🏼
- According to Puck, Jack Schlossberg earns $250 per article at Vogue, a "standard contributor rate," says his PR. That's either a lie—or the saddest fact about Conde Nast's finances I've read in a while. puck.news/newsletter_con…
- Starting the new year with some personal news! Later this month, I'm rejoining @theinformation as the editor of its Weekend magazine section. I'm delighted to reunite with many friends. Together, we're a chronicle of tech's most powerful companies and most interesting people.
