You don't get it. In the US you can watch something else, despite the oversized influence of media conglomerates.

Not so much... Russian media is getting blocked in some places in the west too. RT was blocked from YouTube and TV in the UK for example.

Agree with you on the fact that it was a questionable move.

But there is a big difference between excluding one source (which is directly and formally controlled by the Russian state).. and putting 15 year sentences on "publishing things that are not coming from the state news agency" (TAS)

BTW, and just FYI, if you want you can still read rt.com using 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8

Which totally makes sense. Russia is a dictatorship waging a war of aggression a democratic neighbour. Why should we give their state propaganda outlets any amplification?

Russian propaganda. Russia doesn't have any functional media at the moment.
