It is becoming increasingly difficult for the people of Russia to get independent news about the Ukraine war. Now Google News is also affected by Russian censorship.
Moscow – The Russian media regulator has blocked Google News.
Materials were published on the platform in Russia that contained “misleading information of public interest about the course of the special military operation in Ukraine,” Roskomnadzor said in Moscow, according to the Interfax news agency.
In Russia, the war against Ukraine is referred to as a “military operation”. In the worst case, there is a risk of imprisonment for spreading alleged false news about the Russian army. The social media platforms Facebook and Instagram were recently banned in Russia as “extremist”. dpa
