Meanwhile, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said questions about YouTube’s slowdown in Russia should be directed at the platform itself, not the authorities.
According to him, Roskomnadzor makes “reasonable claims” against video hosting, and for trouble-free operation on the territory of the Russian Federation, the platform must comply with national laws.
“If YouTube changes the way it operates, it won’t have any problems,” Putin said at a press conference. As an example, he mentioned services such as VK, RuTube and Telegram, which, in his opinion, are successfully developing in Russia.
Putin also accused YouTube of “fraud” and called on the video hosting site to stop such actions. According to him, Russian users who try to find some topic on the platform: culture or music, often “create some propaganda stuff for some political platform.”
Let’s remember that the Kremlin has previously said that the problem of slowing YouTube video hosting in Russia is not a priority. Last week, Roskomnadzor blocked Viber messenger in Russia.
