This was stated in an interview with RBC by the head of Gazprom-Media, Alexander Zharov.
“If the platform continues to engage in systematic and deliberate violation of Russian law, this issue is worth considering,” Zharov said.
At the same time, he emphasized that RUTUBE cannot be considered as a replacement for YouTube.
“YouTube is a worldwide video search engine, they are developing together with Google, they have a recommendation neural network that has been created for eight years already ... We are at the beginning of the journey,” he explained.
Earlier it became known that since April 2020, Roskomnadzor discovered 87 facts of censorship applied to Russian channels by YouTube video hosting.
