US sanctions for design services in russia


Yuliaa

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?


Andrii_Trush

Agreed. That’s really important.

@Celine_Figma Hi Celine! I saw you replied to other topics on behalf of Figma. Sorry to tag you, but I think this is quite an urgent matter, since the US sanctions come into effect tomorrow and it would be a shame if Figma gets penalties for not complying with the sanctions. Is there any update on Figma’s policies regarding users in russia?

Figma is still working in Russia. Don’t worry, everything is fine. 👍

Fully support this. It’s important for Figma to address this issue and comply with the sanctions

Thank you for this topic, it’s very important.

It’s awful. A lot of Russian people support the Russian invasion and the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainians every day. I don’t even say that a lot of us think Ukraine is their territory. It’s awful. Is 2024 now 1800…

So there is no reason any soft for people who appreciate war…I hope Figma understands their responsibility.


Anastasiia_Ivashchuk

Waiting for Figma’s reply and action!


Andrii_Sydorov

Thank you, that’s important topic!
