Perplexity Pro subscriptions blocked for Russian users

Perplexity has blocked access to its Pro subscription tier for users in Russia, effective immediately. The decision was made due to evolving regulatory requirements and compliance challenges in the region. Russian users can still access the free version of Perplexity, but advanced features like real-time search, custom models, and priority support are no longer available. This move reflects growing tensions between AI platforms and regional authorities over data governance and service restrictions.
