Degoogle, and also avoid any company with an international arm incorporated in Russia, or outside of Russia, apparently:

Google is seeking a ruling [in US and English courts] to block [RT] from pursuing its assets in foreign jurisdictions such as South Africa, Turkey and Serbia.

      I just hope Disney still have some money in Russia and he dares stealing from the mouse itself. He’ll be in for quite the ride.
