Thank you for your research. Much appreciated!

Apparently, YouTube content creators’ channels are able to benefit from the 1st Constitutional Amendment that prohibits: “the free exercise of religion, or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press.” Also, these Youtube creators for Ukraine not only present content in support of Ukraine but also are enabled to help Ukraine financially.

“Orujov isy director of Kanal 13, an online station that produces programs on social and economic issues and is often critical of authorities. Police arrested Orujov in May 2017, charged him with resisting authorities, and a court sentenced him to 30 days detention.

Hours before his detention expired, the authorities charged him with illegal entrepreneurship and abuse of authority, claiming that Kanal 13 received funding from abroad and failed to register it with the Ministry of Justice.

The case against Orujov was clearly intended to silence his critical reporting. In December 2017, a Grave Crimes Court convicted Orujov and sentenced him to six years in prison. Amnesty International recognized him as a prisoner of conscience.”
