“Yandex” explained to employees the reasons for the sale of services “Yandex.News” and “Yandex.Zen”

Earlier there was information that the company “Yandex” plans to sell its services “Yandex.News” and “Yandex.Zen”. Yesterday, the head of the Yandex.Zena service, Anton Frolov, spoke about the reasons for the sale of the platform.

If Yandex wants to continue to be a technology big company, it will have to focus on something that under no circumstances can be politicized in any way.

In addition, Yandex can no longer engage in various content projects within itself. Zen and Novosti will have to develop elsewhere. Therefore, selling services to another company is the most likely option.

Over the past month, the rules for doing business in Russia have been redefined, and for Yandex, the existential question is now: what to do next? In the current conditions, it is impossible to simultaneously continue to engage in content and information services that affect a large number of people, and not fall under various types of pressure, both from the inside and from the outside.
