Hi there!

I would like to know what Figma is going to do to comply with the US sanctions against russia regarding design software coming into effect in September.

I haven’t seen any new updates on the topic. It seems like the old approach described here will be in violation of the new sanctions.

For example, Notion has already communicated here that to comply with the US sanctions they will restrict access to their platform for all users in russia.

Please vote for this topic to draw Figma’s attention to this serious matter.

Oh yes, this is a very important question! Why is Figma silent?

They are probably afraid that if the Russians start downloading files at the same time, then Figma will start crashing and freezing.

Maybe the silence mean that it’s time for people with Russian IP to start transferring files, for example, to Chinese Pixso?
