March 3 (Reuters) - Russian state-controlled news network RT said on Thursday it will begin broadcasting on Rumble, a YouTube-like video site, after tech companies including Meta Platforms (FB.O) and Twitter (TWTR.N) have restricted access to RT following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Tech companies in recent days have moved to restrict Russian state-controlled media including RT and Sputnik in response to requests from governments and calls to prevent the spread of Russia propaganda. Russia has called its actions in Ukraine a "special operation."
Streaming media company Roku (ROKU.O) removed the app for RT from its Roku Channel Store in Europe, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier this week. read more

Good. That’s all I care about is keeping Rumble running. D-live and Odysee suck out loud as You Tube alternatives.
Very true.
RT is a Russian state-controlled[1] international television network funded by the tax budget of the Russian government.... RT is a brand of TV-Novosti, an autonomous non-profit organization founded by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti in April 2005. During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO “TV-Novosti” on its list of core organizations of strategic importance to Russia.... RT is registered as an autonomous nonprofit organization funded by the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Media, part of the government of Russia.
Pretty sad that Ed Schulz, Larry King, Thom Hartmann, George Galloway, etc., that they blend in so well.
Most of our news is domestic propaganda.
That’s true, but with US MSM you only get the Democrat version of propaganda.....so...what’s the difference.
I have noticed that the Russians honor and respect straight white men, while the US media attacks them...
RT is less delusional than MSNBC.
Banning propaganda doesn’t allow anyone to see how low a country will stop.
The MSM broadcasts pro Ukraine propaganda 24/7 completely unquestioned.
“Good guys” are relative in Easter Europe.
You’re not wrong...
looks like RT is still live on youtube
I think that is was only pulled in some countries in Europe
I’m against censorship, period.
RT is not independent except in America. When you surround it with CBS, NYT, PBS, CNN, WP, NBC, ABC then yes. Or not so much independent as it is an other point of view. Don’t let it be said, that our media does not hide the family getting knocked off by our army in Afghanistan. Our government does bad things and we need RT to point them out. RT is not the only dissenting voice. But when they remove RT, the others will follow. Newsmax was thrown off of several channels earlier.
Don’t think for one moment that CNN or NBC are independent. They sit there and lie to the American public every day. And in each case they take the view of the swamp. If the CIA directors and FBI were their as employees it could not be any clearer. Oh wait. The CIA director and FBI are employees of CNN. RT may be propaganda. But in this world we need some propaganda that is not run by our swamp.
If you were to actually visit their page on Rumble, you'd see that they've been uploading videos since...March of 2021.
