One of my biggest fears on #censorship is ISP level domain blocking.
YouTube can block content they deem to violate their (often vague) rules. The day that happens more overtly at the ISP level is the day the internet dies.
RT is obviously state-funded Russian propaganda. They publish obviously anti-Western media. Should we be afraid of that? No. They should be allowed on YouTube.
They were initially banned for Covid 'misinformation'. But as of today, the official reason is because Russia's invasion violates their 'violet events' policy, and RT is funded by the Russian government.

Also, I am by no means pro-Russian. I am simple pro-free speech.
