Wow, YouTube as well apparently. I wonder if this will be a watershed moment in the balkanization of the internet, or if this access will be restored at some point in the future.

EU has already don't this to russian media/social media. Though it's not technically a country. But I do think months/years after the war is over, everyone will let social media back into their countries after series of negotiations.
