Russia is forcing Netflix to livestream its state TV channels

Netflix has to adhere to all kinds of different regulations and licensing deals around the world, which is why your Netflix catalogue will look a lot different than usually when you're travelling internationally. While some economic areas like the EU are only looking into requiring foreign streaming services to serve some percentage of locally produced content, others are a lot stricter. It looks like you can count Russia as one of these stricter regulators, as the country is looking to require Netflix to become something it's never been before: A live TV streaming service serving customers at least 20 state TV channels from March 2022.
