In a statement, Russia’s media watchdog Roskomnadzor said YouTube’s decision to remove channels RT DE and Der Fehlende Part violated “fundamental rights of freedom and access to information”. YouTube’s decision to block the RT channels over what it described as a “violation of Covid-19 misinformation policies” induced a blistering battle cry from the network’s combative chief Margarita Simonyan on Tuesday evening. Moscow had “no doubt” that the move to block RT’s channels was made with the “open and tacit support of the German authorities and local media”, the spokesperson said, claiming that the aim was to “muffle” information sources that did not correspond to “a comfortable media background for the German official elite”.
