Russia accuses YouTube of censorship
Officials say the video giant is violating the country's constitution.
Russia isn’t a country that supports free speech and the government has been known to engage in censorship on a countless number of occasions. But now the government itself is crying censorship.
According to Valery Fadeyev, who heads the Russian Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights (HRC), YouTube banning several Russian media channels is censorship, which is against the Russian constitution.
In July, the Google-owned video-sharing platform banned the channels of several Russian news outlets, including Crimea 24, Anna News, Tsargrad, and News Front.
