YouTube has shut down Russia’s State Duma channel, triggering backlash from top Russian officials as the war in Ukraine extends into cyberspace.
The channel, which streams sessions from the lower house of Russia's Federal Assembly, violated the terms of service, the internet video behemoth indicated Saturday. Now, YouTube faces demands from Russia's communications watchdog Roskomnadzor to restore the channel immediately as part of an escalating censorship war between Russia and Big Tech."From the look of it, YouTube has signed its own warrant. Save content, transfer to Russian platforms.
"Google is committed to compliance with all applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws. If we find that an account violates our Terms of Service, we take appropriate action. Our teams are closely monitoring the situation for any updates and changes," a Google spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.
"The American IT company adheres to a pronounced anti-Russian position in the information war unleashed by the West against our country," Roskomnadzor said, per Reuters.
