Moscow: YouTube deletion of a ministry briefing is evidence of its involvement in media war against Russia

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it will resort to the competent Russian authorities in its country, against the background of the decision of the American YouTube company to delete a press briefing video of the ministry for allegedly violating the company’s rules.

Russia Today quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commenting on YouTube’s decision, saying: “We reserve the right to resort to the competent Russian authorities to demand that they take the necessary measures against the background of this delisting decision,” noting that this incident once again shows the absence of any principles in America’s information technology and its full involvement in the ongoing media war against Russia.

Zakharova described this measure as a blatant forced digital censorship of the account approved by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Zakharova pointed out that the new facts require the Russian Foreign Ministry to conduct a radical review of the working formula and whether it is appropriate to continue its relations with the American digital platform, blaming YouTube for this.
