YouTube blocks Russian state-funded media channels globally

• By Staff Writer

YouTube is blocking access to channels associated with Russian state-funded media globally, days after it blocked channels like RT and Sputnik in Europe. It said it will remove content about Russia's invasion that denies, minimize or trivialize "well-documented violent events". "The blocking by YouTube is nothing but a new turn of an atrocious attack on...freedom of the press," Sputnik said.
