There's a lot going on around Yandex, but our demands remain the same: Yandex must suffer the consequences of its actions.

- A new investigation by Svetlana Reiter on Meduza (EN) confirms the news censorship: "...Top News section on the Yandex homepage had been drawing exclusively from a “white list” that consisted of 15 news outlets". There are a lot of other details and quotes.

- Yandex has reportedly sold Yandex News and Zen to VK, but it is not clear what it actually means and whether the News service ever leaves Yandex's home page as it would mean an extreme loss of traffic. Meanwhile, it's business as usual and the propaganda continues to propagate false headlines day and night. 

- Yandex conducts direct censorship in their search results too: https://zona.media/news/2022/05/15/marina "The Yandex.Pictures service does not show photos of Marina Ovsyannikova [who protested the war on the national TV on air] when searching by her name".

Let's keep it going and cross 500 signatures this week!
