This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, after the Duma TV channel on Youtube was blocked.
According to Zakharova, YouTube signed its own verdict with this decision. She called on citizens to save content as soon as possible and transfer it to Russian platforms.
Senator Andrei Klishas also commented on YouTube’s actions, stating that this could lead to video hosting in the Russian Federation being blocked.
The chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that the blocking of the Duma TV channel on YouTube is further evidence that Washington is violating the rights and freedoms of citizens. The State Duma stated that it was ready for a possible blockade and developed other parties.
“This is another proof that Washington is violating the rights and freedoms of citizens. The US authorities are forcing American IT companies that own social networks to engage in information warfare against our country, ”wrote Volodin on his Telegram channel.
Let us remind you that they posted exclusive comments from MPs and broadcast plenary sessions on the blocked YouTube channel «Duma TV».
Roskomnadzor has already requested that access to the canal be restored. The department noted that Google sticks to a clear anti-Russian stance in the information war unleashed by the West and acts as a key platform for disseminating counterfeit products by discriminating against official Russian news sources.
