The Diary Game 18/03/2022 - Electronic Arts publisher eliminated Russian teams from the FIFA and NHL games.

After the publisher eliminated Russian teams from the FIFA and NHL games and discontinued sales in Russia and Belarus, EA returns with new sanctions on players in these regions.

Thus, Electronic Arts has decided to eliminate all players from Russia and Belarus and the Russian and Belarusian eSports teams from the official competitions organized around its titles: Apex Legends Global Series and EA SPORTS FIFA 22 Global Series.

This decision by EA comes two weeks after ESL suspended Russian teams Virtus.pro and Gambit from the 15th season of the ESL Pro League. Other eSports operators, such as Blast and Elisa, have also imposed restrictions on Russian teams.

The example of the Olympic Games was taken

However, following the example used in the Olympic Games, ESL allows the participation of Russian e-athletes or teams in its competitions provided that they use neutral names, without displaying national logos or colors, a compromise solution. accepted by Virtus.pro, for example.

A similar decision was made by Ubisoft (another company that stopped sales in Russia), with all official competitions around the company's games, such as the Russian Major League Rainbow Six Siege, being suspended. Russian players will still be able to compete in regional and international competitions, but will have to do so under a neutral flag.

It appears that the request was beyond the technical capabilities of Truth Social, and simply registering an account was almost impossible.

Donald Trump has created an alternative to Twitter

The launch of Social Truth has been rushed to take place on February 21, the day of the Presidents of the United States of America, which is a national holiday. Given that Donald Trump is the former president of the United States and continued for many months after the 2020 elections to claim that his votes for the second term were stolen, he probably wanted to send a message for the next election on this date.

In fact, his fight for stolen votes was also the reason why he was blocked from most social media platforms on the Internet. He was very active on Twitter, but had accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and YouTube, but was blocked after the attack on the Capitol building, where the presidential votes were to be validated.

Social Truth seems to be an almost identical clone of Twitter, Trump's favorite platform. Messages are called "truths", which you can share with "ReTruths" (a function similar to Retweet), while the main feed is called Truth Feed. The name is not accidentally chosen, as Donald Trump has always complained about the "fake news" in the press criticizing him, and he, as well as various members of his cabinet, have invented all sorts of terms such as "alternative facts") to present his point of view, different from the factual one.

Truth Social was launched in a hurry, with many technical issues

One of the controversies of the first day of Social Truth was the inability to register an account, then putting those waiting on a list, after which the information appeared that the logo of the application is "copied", as it looks very similar to that of another company. .
