https://news.sky.com/story/how-are-the-big-tech-companies-responding-to-the-invasion-of-ukraine-12555497 In a statement Google said: "The Russian invasion of Ukraine is both a tragedy and a humanitarian disaster in the making." In Ukraine the company has updated its Search and Maps services to provide alerts to UN resources for people searching for refugee and asylum information. Google said it had been taking action against "Russia-backed hacking and influence operations" for years and was continuing to automatically increase Google account security protections. It said it was also providing protection against DDoS attacks for more than 100 Ukrainian websites, including local news services. The company has blocked the YouTube channels connected to RT and Sputnik across Europe - including the UK, which is not covered by the European Union restrictions - and has banned RT from monetising its content on any of its advertising platforms. In Russia, the company said most of its services would remain available, helping people there access global information and perspectives beyond those of state-controlled media.

H.Res.281 - Expressing concern over persistent and credible reports of systematic, state-sanctioned organ harvesting from non-consenting prisoners of conscience, in the People's Republic of China, including from large numbers of Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned for their religious beliefs, and members of other religious and ethnic minority groups. 113th Congress (2013-2014)

Due to widespread violations of anti-doping regulations, including an attempt to sabotage ongoing investigations by the manipulation of computer data, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 2019 banned the Russian Federation from all major sporting events - including the Olympic Games - for four years. BUT Russia is still cheating the system. They exploited / abused 15-year-old Kamila Valieva who would have won gold without performance enhancing drugs. It would be ironic if it weren't tragic for her.
