Russians

Google's YouTube said Tuesday that it would block Kremlin-backed media outlets RT and Sputnik from Europe following similar bans by Facebook and TikTok.
"It’ll take time for our systems to fully ramp up. Our teams continue to monitor the situation around the clock to take swift action," Google's video streaming service said in a statement.
YouTube's ban — following an announcement from the European Commission that it wanted to remove these Russian media outlets from the EU — would apply within the European Union and the U.K

Gee, all the Russians had to do to get banned by YouTube was blow up a country full of innocent civilians.
Are media bans really targeted at Russians - or are they targeted at us? Can’t have any non-approved information getting through, now can we?
When twitch bans the Russian girls dancing in hot tubs then I’ll know things are getting serious 🤣🤣🤣
My mom grew up in England during WWII listening to Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) on radio. The English thought he was funny... listened for the comedic effect. He was executed in 1946 for treason.

Us.
I referenced the other day “Charlie and his Orchestra”, the Nazi Swing band that did parodies of swing songs with pro-Nazi lyrics.
It was a very interesting story as the musicians, who were quite good, were coerced into doing it. Of course Swing Music was verboten to Germans.
Yes, the banning is actually done so that people do not know what is actually happening but through the lying fake news approved by governments.
This is exactly what people accuse Russia of.
If you hate Russians so much, quit acting like them.
Putin yawns.
Not a good look for “freedom loving” west. Then again I don’t expect much from big tech (and their big government masters)
“Are media bans really targeted at Russians - or are they targeted at us?”

At us - the Russians still get their news.
This is the usual censoring of any info counter to a war narrative.
Just like the true story of drone massacre of the Afghan family as Biden fumbled his way out was celebrated as a victory against terrorism until it was exposed.
“no news is good news”.
It takes a little time to reconfigure the matrix cutoffs but we can maximize or obfuscate your customers search results very quickly once we know your mission and the check has cleared.
One source that I use (outside western propaganda) has gotten very clever.
Instead of using the word “Ukraine” in its coverage they use the name of another unrelated country (which I will not name).
That seems to fool the AI censors rather well.
I have heard the same for many Youtubers discussing Covid - Cerveza disease, Cerveza Sickness, the disease-that-shall-not-be-named, the Batblues, the WuFlu
We are living in 1984, and never realized it.
This period of history reminds me of the Inquisition where writers had to hide their message or be burned at the stake.
What load of horse manure. You are content to be ignorant about situation that could lead to world war or nuclear.
Our globalist/new world order/neo-con leaders created this war with their meddling.
We promised Russia no expansion of NATO eastward in the early 1990s and broke our promise.
We, under Obama and with George Soros assistance, fomented a revolution in Ukraine that alienated the pro-Russian part of it in Crimea and Donbass and lead to an eight-year civil war in Donbass that killed tens of thousands of people. We encouraged Ukraine to try to cutoff Russian access to the Black Sea.
And, under Biden, we encouraged Ukraine to go on the offensive in Donbass.
This war is result of us encourage Ukraine to poke the Russian bear. It was like mouse attacking a cat and we left the mouse to fend for itself.
Oh relax I was making an entirely different point.
I am against the invasion and against Putin but would like to be able to hear what Russian media is saying about the situation without YouTube acting as the Ministry of Truth.
