Don't accuse me of being a Russian shill, I'm the opposite. But isn't this a local law in many countries?
"The laws prohibit political campaigning within 24 hours of an official poll."
We have a similar law in most of Canada, I think. No advertising just before Election Day. In some provinces, the blackout includes the day before an election (Ontario, for example).
Interesting that for national elections, Canada doesn't allow advertising on Election Day itself, but specifically exempts internet ads that were placed before Election Day. So if you uploaded a video to youtube before the blackout, you don't have to remove it.
The question here is whether Google also removed other Russian party ads from YouTube as well.
