“Restricting access to official accounts is an act of censorship against the Russian media.

This is unacceptable, since it violates the key principles of free dissemination of information and unimpeded access to it, ”the Russian department stressed.

The RKN demanded that the restrictions on the account be lifted as soon as possible and the department be informed about it.

In late October, Roskomnadzor announced that the censorship of Russian media by foreign Internet platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter has become systemic.
