YouTube to block channels linked to Russia's RT and Sputnik across Europe | Reuters

On Tuesday, Google Europe stated that they are blocking YouTube channels "connected to RT and Sputnik across Europe, effective immediately".



According to a statement made on Twitter by the company, "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".

The move follows President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen's announcement that the European Union intends to ban state-owned Russian media outlets, including Sputnik, RT and their subsidiaries, as part of new sanctions imposed on the country amid its military operation in Ukraine.

On Monday, Instagram, Meta, formerly known as Facebook, restricted access to Sputnik news agency and the RT broadcaster across the European Union.
