Roskomnadzor demanded that YouTube remove the block from the Russian channels RBC, Zvezda and Sputnik in Ukraine. The department sent a corresponding letter to the management of the American company Google LLC.
“American Internet services, including YouTube video hosting, are participating in the information confrontation, purposefully restricting Russian media, including those that are official Russian sources of information.
In a letter from Roskomnadzor to the YouTube administration, it is noted that such actions violate the key principles of the free distribution of information and unhindered access of citizens to it, ”the department explained.
