Slack began to disconnect users from Russia

The service for corporate communications Slack began to restrict access for clients from Russia because of sanctions, Axios reported with reference to the statement of the company.

“Slack must take steps to comply with sanctions regulations in the United States and other countries where we operate, including suspension of accounts in some cases without prior notice in accordance with the law,” the company explained.

Basically, access to the service is lost by companies that are under direct sanctions. At the same time, Slack does not delete their data.

Earlier, the vc.ru portal wrote about the shutdown, which noticed more than 60 reviews about the removal of workspaces in the App Store and Google Play. Since March 12, users have reported that their accounts have been deleted without warning or the ability to save data. Some received a notification after the blocking. Restriction of access to the service portal was confirmed in the press service of Sberbank.
