Sure, but good luck getting anyone to see it without promoting it on established platforms (either by paying and/or getting "influencers" to push you)
And then, if you do get an audience but cross an invisible trip wire, expect your ISP/host provider to drop you.
And if you really manage to persist, the DNS police can finally de-platform you for reals (See for ex. sci-hub).
I'm no fan of Russia Today as a source of information, but I do believe people should have the right to speak and be heard. The problem today is there is so much utter shit on the webs that we each have a moral obligation to try to think objectively about our media consumption and stop lazily and addictively searching for data that confirms our biases and gives us a shot of outrage (like coffee) to start the day.
- noduerme 5y ago>> good luck getting anyone to see it without promoting it on established platforms The Russian government already has the ultimate way of promoting their channel: Banning all other channels and imprisoning anyone who shares something not approved by RT/Sputnik. Again, RT.com is still fully available in America and anyone can go there to hear the Russian government's side of this war. Anyone who wants to think objectively can and should go watch it and make their own decisions. However, there is nothing whatsoever that obligates an American company to host their propaganda. And no, you don't have a right to be heard. At least here you have a right to speak, which you don't have in Russia.
