Totally not like how access to Russian news outlets has been blocked by parts of the West.

Just pointing out that there was a shadow edit to this comment. It used to say Russian need outlets were blocked by the West.

It isn't actually blocked in the US

I just went to RT from the US. This whataboutism doesn't work.

I'm so tired of "whataboutism" being used to as some attempt to shut down an argument. It is perfectly valid to point out hypocritical arguments. And it might stun you to know that the West isn't solely composed of the US. Try going to RT from the EU - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:L...

Take special note not just of the block, but of the anticircumvention provisions.
