Maybe not for whole EU, but I read it was banned in France, and I can confirm I cannot reach it now (from France).

- jorvi 2y agoI did some further research and technically the EU has banned them, but only from being broadcasted and they are supposed to be DNS-blocked but failing to do so is without legal consequences. To me this is more a discouragement of promotion than any real ban, but I will edit my previous comment.
- brabel 2y agoIt seems in some EU countries you can still reach RT or BY. Try one of these (none accessible to me in Sweden): * https://sputnikglobe.com https://sputnikglobe.com * https://sputnik.by https://sputnik.by * https://rt.com/ https://rt.com/ My wife is Belarussian and was upset she couldn't read her news, that's how I know they banned many websites. They didn't ban the "opposition" websites run from outside Russia/Belarus though :).
- dagw 2y agoAl three work fine for me (also in Sweden). Perhaps different ISPs are dealing with this differently.
- brabel 2y agoThat's scary. Perhaps they only block if you try to access the sites regularly?? I wouldn't think my ISP matters (Telia, which one you're on?) but that's possible too.
- dagw 2y agoDid some more tests and seems to be Telia doing the blocking at the ISP level. When I'm connected to the eduroam wifi network (I'm at a university) then I can get to all those sites. When I turn off wifi and use mobile data, via Telia, then they are blocked. If I use mobile data plus a VPN with the location set to Sweden, I can access the sites again. I have Tele2 as my ISP at home, will be interesting to see if that works or not.
