“We do not have a goal to specifically ban it, limit it ... Our goal is to force him to comply with our laws,” the deputy emphasized.

He noted that "gradual measures of influence" will be applied to video hosting.

“We will ban monetization and so on.

We will see how he reacts to the measures of our influence, ”Matveychev concluded.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Alexei Chernyak proposed to legally ban access to YouTube video hosting in Russia for at least ten years.

The parliamentarian believes that foreign owners of video hosting do not need the truth, and the service itself created the conditions for its blocking on Russian territory by its actions.
