No or they wouldn't be hit.

You're pushing it a bit, aren't you?

Also, I find it hard to believe that at this point any major Russian company is allowed to be aligned with Ukraine, let alone have an intelligence sharing with them.

Anyway, Russia as a country decided to invade a neighbour, attack their infrastructure, etc. "Sow the wind reap the whirlwind".

> hundreds or even thousands

Would be easy to link a couple of them then?

It literally changed to basically have exclusively state registered media, is closely aligned with Putin (and has Putin allies in big positions). So no its pretty clear that they hit it

I don’t think Russia can sustain, nor would the Putin regime tolerate any organization that cannot be controlled. Whatever Yandex does or doesn’t do, it’s by the will of the regime.

Yandex is a state propped and state owned cosplay of western civilization, similarly to all other aspects russia.

You don't know what "state-owned" means in terms of Russia and no one on this website does. It does not equal loyal to Russia's interests neither to interests of russian people.

Yandex is one of the most disloyal and pro-ukraine companies in Russia, it to this day does not recognize Crimea as Russia yada yada. It's own AI systems are hardwired to refuse any pro-russian topics and only cover pro-ukrainian side. In that way, gemini and chatgpt are both significantly more pro-russian, which is hilarious (if only they didn't block RU region).

Being state owned means nothing if there are no will to trample down disloyalty.

Again, see core comment. People in this thread cheering for yandex bombing really don't understand a single thing.
