   While many reputable companies have pulled out of Russia long ago, American language learning company Duolingo has continued its business in Russia, reveals TASS.

   In April, the company was told to censor its app, so Russians can no longer see ANY reference to the existence of #LGBT persons, and instead of ending its business in Russia, the company chose to help the dystopian regime and comply, writes Latvian newsmedia Meduza.

   Duolingo has censored its app to comply with Russia’s law against “LGBT propaganda,” state media reports. The authorities began investigating the app earlier this year after parents complained that it contained references to the existence of LGBTQ people.
