The platform will close all workspaces of users located in Russia, cancel paid subscriptions and also prohibit access from the territory of the country.
Until September 8, users in Russia can export their data from Notion as described here.
- On August 14, Miro, a remote collaborative work platform, announced that it would completely close access to the service to Russian and Belarusian users starting September 12 due to the entry into force of US sanctions.
- The company later added that it would continue to serve customers in Russia and Belarus, but only those who use the service’s free features.
In June, the US Treasury expanded sanctions against Russian companies. As of September 12, US IT companies are prohibited from providing services to clients in the Russian Federation. This includes selling design software, cloud services and business management solutions, and providing consulting services.
Most experts and industry participants interviewed by RB believe that these restrictions could lead to an increase in piracy cases, as well as force companies to invest in their developments or cooperate with India and China.
