[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] The world's largest video platform, YouTube, announced on the 11th (local time) that it will block access to Russian state media worldwide, according to AP News and others.
YouTube stated that it has begun blocking access to channels associated with Russian state media globally. This expands the scope from previously blocking two media outlets, RT and Sputnik, in the European region.
This measure is based on content policies that prohibit denying or downplaying violent incidents and making them appear trivial.
Additionally, following the suspension of advertising in Russia, YouTube expanded the scope of suspension to all methods of earning money on its platform in Russia on the same day.
