Will Google shut down all the USA [1] propaganda channels as well? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Am

  VOA is not covert and its intentions are quite clear. This equivocation makes no sense.

    On the other hands, tons of "NGO"s, foreign journalists, parties, etc sponsored under the table and over the table by various agencies, think tanks, etc, are indeed covert.

  That's the American equivalent to RT, neither of which is in dispute. The channel mentioned in TFA features black actors pretending to be american aimed at discrediting political opponents of Russia and inciting racial conflict to sow instability among Americans. That's not censorship of an alternative viewpoint: this is unambiguously hateful propaganda.

    >discrediting political opponents [...] and inciting racial conflict to sow instability among Americans Your mass media/ruling class does that too (especially on the political right). And they have much more influence than some largely unknown YT channel allegedly backed by Russia.

      > And they have much more influence than some largely unknown YT channel allegedly backed by Russia. How about RT? They play in the same conspiracy league though RT reaches far more people since they air the same agenda in different western countries and languages.
