YouTube blocks Russia's RT and Sputnik across Europe
YouTube, the US-owned video sharing platform, has taken down the prominent Russian channels of Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik over Russia's military actions in Ukraine.
“Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we’re blocking YouTube channels connected to RT and Sputnik across Europe, effective immediately,” Google Europe tweeted on Tuesday.
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we’re blocking YouTube channels connected to RT and Sputnik across Europe, effective immediately. 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.

YouTube is a subsidiary company of the Google/Alphabet company based in Mountain View, California.
The company's actions follow that of Facebook, which on Monday said it will restrict access to television network RT and news agency Sputnik on its platforms across the European Union.
Twitter Inc has also said that it would label tweets containing contents from the Russian state-controlled media and reduce their visibility.
