Roskomnadzor demands YouTube to lift restrictions on the Russian anthem

This is stated on the website of the Russian department.

"A demand was sent to Google LLC to remove restrictions on the publication of materials containing the Russian anthem, imposed by YouTube video hosting under the pretext of copyright infringement," the statement says.

Roskomnadzor notes that the anthem, like other state symbols, is not subject to copyright, and therefore the corresponding blocking is "unacceptable rudeness" in relation to all citizens of Russia.

Earlier, Roskomnadzor demanded to remove the blocking of the Akhmat and ASA YouTube channels.
