MODERATORS
Very possible. They rely on good translations for example, and I would assume Yandex was one of the services that offered this. Or at least it might have run in the same data centers.
Without trustworthy translations, you can hardly influence as easily.
And even if there are alternatives, the existing data pipelines need to be reworked first (new APIs, no contracts, etc)
