- lostmsu 5y agoCan you share more info on that? I only saw reports of their broadcast permissions revoked, not the website.
- kzrdude 5y agoISPs have been mandated to block Russia state media. For me the site is unreachable. One swedish ISP refuses to comply due to them being anti-censorship activists. https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/02/eu-rt-sputnik-ban-live/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/02/eu-rt-sputnik-ban-live/ I wish there was more reporting on this.

No paywall, hence they are nice to link to. :) https://sverigesradio-se.translate.goog/artikel/regeringen-star-bakom-eus-censurbeslut-om-rt?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://sverigesradio-se.translate.goog/artikel/regeringen-s...
- evandale 5y ago“In this time of war, words matter. We are witnessing massive propaganda and disinformation over this outrageous attack on a free and independent country. We will not let Kremlin apologists pour their toxic lies justifying Putin’s war or sow the seeds of division in our Union.” It seems like war is always the excuse used to restrict our freedoms.
- evandale 5y agoThat's really messed up. Is this bye-bye to net neutrality?
- kzrdude 5y agoSeems like it. I'm not even sure what the legal situation is. I hope Bahnhof (swedish ISP) challenges it in court.
